WellDuct - Solve Basement Windows Leaking

Do Your Basement Windows Leak?
When there is water outside of a basement window, it will leak into the basement. Besides the obvious - fix the gutters, re-grade if possible and extend the downspouts - if you don't do something else the window will likely leak again in the future. The next best thing to do is install a drain from the window well to the perimeter basement waterproofing drainage system around your basement that leads to the sump pump. This is a good back-up plan to the best option of a gravity drain from the window well to a low spot in the yard, draining to daylight.

WellDuct Solves Leaky Basement Windows
A simple system called a WellDuct, a vertical extension of the WaterGuard System, drains water from the window well before the window leaks in the even that water rises in the well.

A drain hole is drilled through your basement wall just under the windowsill. If the wall is a block wall, the hole is lined with a section of pipe. Then a grate is installed on the outside over the hole or a specialized drain inlet is installed. The WellDuct conduit itself is installed on the inside of your basement wall.

If water rises to threaten the window, it goes through the grate, through the wall, down the WellDuct, through your inside basement waterproofing drain system and to the sump pump.
