Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Repairing Basement Windows in Columbia, IL
Basement window wells were failing in Columbia, IL, causing water to leak into the basement through the windows. To solve these issues, SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures were first installed. 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, and will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home. Inside the basement, WellDuct Window Well Drains were installed. This channel is placed on the inside of the basement below the window that will carry water from a leaking window to the WaterGuard System, which was also installed. This perimeter drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Thanks to these systems, these windows will not leak and the basement will stay dry for years to come!
