Potential Water Penetration in Window Wells
Window wells are normally installed in homes with basements. Their purpose is to provide outside light. To provide this light, these windows have to be built partially below the ground level. Water penetration & intrusion occurs when water pools in these wells and ultimately leaks through the seal between the window and foundation and into the basement.
Flooding Window Well Corrections by Superior Restoration & Remodeling in New York City
To stop flooding in an existing window well, our crews will apply a liquid membrane to the open area directly onto the wall, then backfill the area with a drainage stone that causes a gravity-fed flow into a new window well that we install.
As a substitute for a drain, contractors may place coarse gravel or crushed rock in the window well, through which water will drain into the soil beneath the gravel. This works well to drain away smaller amounts of water, but flooding remains possible with heavier rains.
