Window Well Drainage
Window Well Drainage That Keeps Water Out
Drainage That Protects from the Ground Up
Window wells can be a source of basement dampness and they can spill into the basement through the basement window. To eliminate this problem, we will remove your old well and then dig down to your foundation’s footing. We fill this hole with gravel up to 10-12” below your basement window. If your problem is severe, we will recommend adding a catch basin and sump pump to your window well to pump the water out to your lawn or a dry well. Finally, if necessary, we will replace your old window well with a new galvanized well.
The Pros in Window Well Drainage Solutions
We Stop Water Before It Hits the Basement Floor
When water collects in window wells, it doesn’t take long for moisture and water to penetrate into your basement. A proper window well drainage system keeps that from happening by guiding rainwater down and away from your foundation, even during heavy storms.
At Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing LLC, we’ve seen what happens when wells are ignored, and we know how to fix it the right way.
