Water in your basement? Cracks in your foundation? Leaky foundation walls? Call Woodford - we can help! Woodford Bros., Inc. specializes in basement waterproofing, foundation repair, concrete leveling, crawlspace repair, gutter installations and radon mitigation. Founded in 1962, Woodford's original focus was foundations and barns. Now, we do basement waterproofing, concrete leveling and radon mitigation. That's why Tom and Mike got the name "Basement Brothers." Honesty and hard work are at the heart of what we do, as modeled by our owners Tom and Mike Woodford. Our headquarters is in Apulia Station, outside of Tully, NY. We serve all of Central New York, including Syracuse, Rochester, Binghamton, Oswego, Ithaca, and Auburn.

"Extremely disappointed with the work Woodford Brothers did in my basement. They did waterproofing for me a couple of years ago, and when they dug and re-poured the concrete around the perimeter of my basement, they left the floor with a significant and uneven slope. I didn?t notice how bad it was right away because I?ve been slowly saving up and doing small projects over time to turn the space into a playroom. Once I finally started bringing in professionals to move forward, the issues became impossible to ignore. The slope is so severe that I can?t get flooring installers to lay carpet, and shelving can?t safely sit against the wall without leaning ? which is a serious safety hazard since this room is meant for my two-year-old. I?ve called the company multiple times and was told I?d receive call-backs, but no one follows up. No real solution has been offered, and they?ve shown no willingness to fix the problem. "

Donigan Painting provides paperless billing. To start a job we ask for materials money and 1/3 to get the ball rolling. Upon completion and satisfaction with the work the remaining balance is due. If there is additional work added this will be included in the final bill.

"I had cabinets painted that were promised in contract to have two coats of primer and 3 coats of paint. He said he made a mistake and it should have been 3 coats of primer and two coats of paint. Well, I didn’t get two coats of paint because you could still see the white primer through the paint. He also said the cabinets would be spray painted, but you can clearly see the paint was put on with a brush as the back of the door was not painted at all. He also broke one of the handles and told me that if I wanted that door to have a handle I would have to buy a new one. I was told the job would take a week but it took 2 weeks. When I contacted Bill about the issues it was two weeks after the job was complete as I was in the hospital recovering from surgery. I did however make sure I paid him in full so he didn’t have to wait until I recovered. I am attaching our exchange for the past 2 weeks. His responses are very unprofessional and he would reschedule to fix the job but never show up. He didn’t call; he just didn’t show up. I am still sitting here with unfinished cabinets 2 weeks later and 2,500 dollars poorer. I wish I could post more than 10 photos so that everyone could see the conversation about the door handle and how he decided what he put In the contract was an accident. I chose the 10 pictures of our latest conversation instead. As you can see from the photos there is no way there was two coats put on those gray cabinets."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

While it’s possible to live in a damp basement, it’s usually not healthy to do so. Damp air affects your breathing, and it also promotes mold growth and pest infestation that can make living in a damp basement dangerous. You should plan to resolve any moisture issues and set up preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

Yes, outside leaks can easily cause damage to your home if you don’t have waterproofing measures in place. Regularly check your property for signs of a leak, ensure your home’s landscaping is at least at a 5% slope, your basement windows are sealed, and you have an aligned gutter system to catch rainwater.

You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. 

However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.
