Many basement windows leak as the window well or the groung around the window fills with water. This water level rises until it's even with the window, where it leaks in through the gaps and cracks around the window frame. This water will drip down the inside of the wall, where it can cause damage to anything leaning against the wall and can puddle up on the floor or evaporate into the basement air. All of these possibilities are harmful to the health of the basment and indeed the house as a whole. 

Rather than allowing the water to build up outside the window, Ben S. installed a WellDuct™ that would drain the area before the water levels could get too high. The WellDuct™ works by adding a drain beneath the window through which water can flow. The water enters the basement through a covered and sealed channel that directs the water down into the perimeter drainage system. From there, the water is carried to the sump pump, which will remove it from the home entirely. This entire journey is traveled through protected channels that prevent the water from ever leaking into the basement space where it could cause problems. As an added bonus, the WellDuct™ system has a slim design that allows it to be hidden away behind the finished wall that it is protecting. 

The wooden studs and drywall of this finished wall will be protected from leaking windows thanks to the WellDuct™ that drains the water away before it can leak inside. 

Window wells are often made from sheets of corrugated metal that barely hold back the dirt around the window and do nothing to stop the water and mud that can rain in from above or seap up from below. The metal sheets can also grow rusty and dirt floor of the window well can grow weeds that block the light.

Rather than live with dirty windows and dingy window wells, homeowner Jackie G. hired Woods Basement Systems to improve her basement windows with SunHouse™ window well enclosures. The SunHouse™ is more than a simple metal sheet that holds back some dirt, it is an entire enclosure that protects the window from every direction. The SunHouse™ is made of a rigid material that will not only hold back the ground around the window, but also covers the bottom of the window well to block weed growth and mud from rising in front of the window. The top of the enclosure is made from a clear plastic that allows light to enter the window without letting rain or debris from falling into the window well. Because the floor and walls of the SunHouse™ are bright (and not muddy or rusty) they will reflect even more light into the basement, making the inside brighter and cheerier as well. 

With the SunHouse™ enclosure surrounding the window, Jackie G. won't have to worry about dirty, leaky or obstructed windows anymore. Instead, this basment will have bright, clean windows that will stay clean and clear and look great.

Our foremen Jeremy Raby and his team were sent out to the Manchester home to install the perfect solution to John’s problem. Here at Woods, we have many solutions to fix your foundation settlement such as the PowerBrace system, and GeoLock Wall Anchor system.

Even though this home in Manchester, MO has a good sump pump, it could still be in danger of flooding and water damage. That's because the all the water this pump expels has to go through a single pipe. If there is too much water in the basement, the pipe won't be able to keep up, even if the pump can.

The solution is simple; add an extra pipe. Foreman Dave P. was able to replace the restrictive drainage system in this Manchester home by installing a new sump pump and exit line.  The new sump pump works more comfortably and the allowed room for a second pipe to help drain the basement.

Now, if water levels get too high for the original piping, there's a second set ready to help relieve the pressure and keep the basement dry.
