Before & After Photos

Bei and Jerry purchased a home in Syracuse. During the inspection it did not seem there were any basement water problems. After some time had past they began to notice some water pooling on the basement floor after heavy rains. Jerry began to pull some of the wooden panels off the walls to discover that there were some cracks in the block walls. After searching the internet for basement waterproofing companies, he found Woodford Brothers. Based on our excellent Google reviews he decided to schedule a free estimate. Our Design Specialist, Damani, provided a thorough inspection and options for repair. One of our awesome installation crews, led by James, made quick work of installing a full perimeter Waterguard with a Triple Safe Sump. They also installed Carbon Armor straps on the foundation walls to ensure that the foundation walls would not succumb to hydrostatic pressure. Finally, BrightWall was installed to finish up the job and provide a beautiful aesthetic to the space while keeping wall leaks at bay. Now Bei and Jerry have total peace of mind that their basement safe is dry, structurally sound and safe. 

As you can see in the before photo, this Syracuse, NY homeowner was concerned about their second home's musty small and mold risk when left unattended. Our team at Woodford Bros. tackled this issue head-on. Thanks to the BrightWall system, TripleSafe Sump Pump, WaterGuard perimeter drain, and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, the after photo showcases a transformed dry and healthy basement space. We're proud to provide peace of mind with our durable and effective solutions, ensuring a safe and comfortable second home, no matter the season. 

Jeanne has been living in her Syracuse, NY home for over 11 years. Several years ago, she began noticing issues with water in her basement and wanted to quickly resolve the issue before it worsened, so she decided to reach out to Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs. After an initial inspection of the basement, our Design Specialist suggested the use of the WaterGuard and SuperSump Plus systems. 

WaterGuard is a French drain designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. The system then collects water and drains it to the sump pump. Additionally, the SuperSump Plus is an effective and economical sump pump option, engineered to keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. With these two systems in place, Jeanne can rest assured that her home is permanently waterproofed and protected.

This home in Syracuse had a wet basement. What a waste of usable space! Unless you know your basement won't get wet do you feel safe to store valuable items down there or invest to have your basement finished? Wet basements also lead to bad air quality in your home. When you purchased your home you paid for your basement space. Unless you can use it you are not getting the full value out of the home.  Waterguard is a specially designed piping system designed to sit on top of the footer instead of in the dirt in front of or below it. That's why it's not disruptive to your home's foundation. It's also not deeper than it needs to be so that you don't end up using more electricity (money) to run a sump pump system. On top of that, there is no reason to dig up your yard to get the job done. Once in place, the Waterguard system comes with a dry basement floor guarantee for the lifetime of the home.
