Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Repairing a Leaking Basement Window in Glen Carbon, IL
Water was entering a basement through its window in Glen Carbon, causing concern when it rained. To solve this issue, the old window well was replaced with a SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. It will never rust, rot, or corrode. If any water does enter the window wells, it will drain down the WellDuct Window Well Drain. This establishes a drain from the window well down to a perimeter drainage system. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!
