Waterproofing Window Wells
One of the most troublesome issues a homeowner faces is leaky window wells. As I’m sure you know with below-grade basements, the only way to get some natural light into a basement is through a window well, and of course, they present their own little problems with water leakage that can amount to bigger problems, causing damage to the interior.
Whether it is inadequate drainage in the well, lack of waterproofing adjacent to the window or groundwater pressure, we are one of the Erthecon waterproofing window wells contractors that don’t mind small jobs. Yes, we will permanently waterproof and solve the water leaking through window wells, ensuring the dryness and integrity of your basement.
Very often, the principle solution is to ensure adequate drainage by deepening the window well and backfilling with gravel, or even excavating around the window well and installing a subsurface drainage system or both. In addition, Erthecon Waterproofing will ensure all crack and seep zones are sealed and, if necessary, we’ll even replace the entire window well framework. In addition to a good practice, we also recommend that a clear plastic well cover be installed to provide even more protection from the weather.
