Basement Window Leak Repair in Alabama

Professional Solutions For Leaking, Flooding Basement Windows

Water will find its way into your basement in any way it can. Even if you seal off your concrete walls and install a perimeter drain, leaks can still occur in various ways.

One of the most common ways that water floods into a below-grade space is through your basement windows. The experts at APS Foundation can help prevent these issues in your home.

Understanding Basement Water Issues

Basement water issues are more common than you might think and can cause significant distress for homeowners. The sight of water seeping into your basement can be extremely frustrating and worrying, especially when it disrupts your living environment and poses potential health risks. At APS, we specialize in foundation repair, waterproofing, concrete leveling, and gutter services, offering expert solutions to protect your home from such threats. We understand the stress and concern that come with foundational or water issues, and we are here to provide efficient and effective solutions that address your specific needs.

Why Do Windows Leak?

Basement windows are most often made using inexpensive steel or wood frames. As these materials age, they will begin to break down, showing signs of rust, corrosion, and decay.

As the frames break down, the window panes begin to hang more loosely, and the frame itself begins to hang loosely in its opening in your basement wall.

Along with becoming a leaking issue, these windows will also become drafty. As your home loses conditioned air, your energy costs will rise.

Fortunately, basement window leaks can be fixed quickly, easily, and permanently by draining any leaking water into your perimeter drainage system.

Problem-Solution Example

Our 4-Step Solution to Leaky Basement Windows

Leaking basement windows can be incredibly frustrating for any homeowner. At APS, we understand the distress this issue can cause and have developed a proven, three-step process to ensure your basement stays dry and secure.

We fix leaking basement windows with the WellDuct® Basement Window System to redirect flooding to a perimeter drain or drywell. During installation, our technicians follow these four simple steps:

Install a perimeter drain or drywell: At APS Foundation, we recommend that water from your WellDuct® is directed into a French drain system. Otherwise, a small drywell can be created beneath the leaking window. If your problem is a leaking crack beneath your window, no hole will need to be created.
Create a drainage channel: The installer will create a small hole in the wall -- just underneath the window. If you have block walls, a PVC pipe will be installed in this hole and a grated opening will be installed on the outside of the pipe to help prevent clogs. A polymer will be injected around the outer edge of the pipe to help keep it sealed and in place.
Direct water into your perimeter drainage system: A gray plastic fitting will be placed on your inside basement wall, directing water down into your perimeter drain or drywell. The top of the drain will be sealed off with a polymer injection. Plastic pegs mechanically attach the plastic fitting to your walls.
Seal the drain: The edges of the plastic fitting will be sealed to your wall with a polymer injection. Once the workplace is carefully cleaned, your installation is complete!

Each of these steps works harmoniously to provide a comprehensive solution to leaky basement windows, giving you peace of mind and a dry, secure basement.
