Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home in Clayville, NY had a couple of cinderblock columns that had shifted and failed causing the floors inside the home to be uneven and sloping. The door always wasn't operating correctly. Woodford Brothers lifted everything back into place and installed some 6x6 posts with a base below frost and Y-Bracing. 

Catherine has been living in her Rodman, NY home for over 11 years. Within the past couple of years, he has been growing increasingly concerned over the structural integrity of the foundation as the stone foundation has been bowing in. Wanting to repair the issue before it led to foundation failure, Catherine decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. Following an inspection of the home our Design Specialist suggest the installation of our SmartJack and EverBrace systems. 

The SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to the foundation. Once installed, SmartJack posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Plus, due to its design, the SmartJack system can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. In turn, with EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels.  With these systems in place, Catherine can rest assured that her home's foundation is permanently stabilized and no longer at risk for failure. 

Tim was beginning to notice some cracking and loosening stone in the basement walls of his Chaumont, NY home. Wanting to fix the basement walls before the foundation failed, he decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. Following an initial inspection, our Design Specialist suggested the installation of the EverBrace system to stabilize Tim's foundation walls. 

The EverBrace Wall Restoration System permanently stabilizes the most extreme cases of failing foundation walls. With EverBrace, steel corrugated panels and beams work together to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls. Rigid foam is then injected to fill any voids behind the steel panels, fully transferring the load from the failing structure to the new support panels. By choosing to install the EverBrace system, Tim can rest assured that his home and foundation are permanently stabilized. 

Before tackling this project in Utica, NY, our team faced a basement and foundation that wasn't just unstable but had been incorrectly stabilized by a previous contractor. Understandably, this left the homeowner seeking a real solution. As you can see in our before photo, the damage was significant. We introduced Carbon Armor and PowerBrace systems, designed not just for temporary fixes but for lasting security. Notice in the after photos how these products have transformed an unstable foundation into the solid base it was meant to be. Reliability and a proactive approach set us apart, ensuring each customer's home stands strong for years to come. 

Cindy has been living in her Holland Patent, NY home for 20 years.  Recently, she has become increasingly concerned over the structural integrity of her home as the metal support beams in her garage are significantly rusted.  As her bedroom is located above the garage and consequently held up by the beams, Cindy wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and decided to contact Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs.  After an initial inspection, our Design Specialist determined that the SmartJack system would be best suited to help repair the damaged beams. 

The SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.  Once installed, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames.  SmartJacks can support loads of more than 60,000 lbs and are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance.  With the SmartJack system in place, Cindy can have the peace of mind that her home is permanently stabilized.
