Window Wells, Downspouts & Grading

With the arrival of Spring comes melting snow!

Do not be the victim of water infiltration problems! Be aware of signs that could occur:

High moisture levels in the house
Formation of mold
Water infiltration in the basement
Accumulation of water near the house
Cracks in the foundation

There are several possible causes of water infiltration.

Downspout Assessment and Repairs Basement Leaks

improper positioning of downspouts can cause water infiltration

Improperly Positioned Downspouts

Gutters are needed to keep water from collecting on your roof and at the foundation of your home. Downspouts are hollow pipes that take water from the eavestrough and channel it to the ground. If downspouts are positioned too closely to your home, the purpose of your gutter system is defeated. A house with improper downspout extensions will end up concentrating water next to the house.

Prevent Storm Water From Entering Your Home

Improper grading can cause water to pool

Poor grading

Proper lot grading is one of the most important things you can do to prevent storm water from getting into your home. Poor grading at the exterior means that the ground slopes toward the building or allows water to pool next to the building, rather than away. The fix for improper grading is to change the landscaping.

window well and window sealing to prevent water getting into your basement

Basement window sealing

Windows that are located too close to the ground are subject to water infiltration. If window wells are rusted and covered in debris, then they’re not doing their job.

Clogged Drain System

Soil and debris builds up in the perimeter piping system around your home, both from the roof water connections, the native soil and leaves/needles from trees. Iron oxide and clay slurry are two common contributors to a clogged drain tile system.
