Jessica reached out to us when she couldn't find a solution to her window wells filling with water. She initially thought it was the actual well that was the issue but unfortunately after replacing that she was actually having more problems, that is when she reached out to us to find her a permanent solution!
At this home, we installed a new sump pump and buried the discharge. There is no need to worry about breaking the discharge pipe or having to move it every time they mow because it is underground. The small grate at the end will allow for the water to flow out away from the home.
Dark areas on the foundation can be a sign of water seeping through, here we used CleanSpace to help prevent moisture and odor from continuing to come into the basement.
At this home in Stanely, WI, we installed 2 egress windows. Adding an egress window to your basement not only lets in more natural light but also is an emergency exit if you should need it.
It can be easy to forget about your basement when you aren't down there all the time, but that doesn’t make it any less important. Old windows can allow not only the outside air to get in, but also water seepage. You are also more susceptible to breakage which can cause big problems especially if it isn't caught right away.
When replacing your basement windows, it is also very important to make sure that the window wells are in good condition. If they are not, there is no better time to replace them then with the window.
