Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: SunHouse™ Window Wells Protect Palmyra, MI Basement Windows
A couple moved into their farmhouse 25 years ago with the plan to stay there for the rest of their lives. As they have gotten older, making the journey down to the basement has become more difficult. Unfortunately, they had to regularly check the basement for moisture issues. They decided that getting the basement in the best condition possible was the best idea so they could minimize the trips up and down the stairs. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to figure out how to prevent moisture in the future.
One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Elon, visited the home to inspect the issues and discuss the homeowners’ concerns. The windows were the culprit in this case, so Elon recommended installing SunHouse™ Window Wells at each of the basement windows. SunHouse™ Window Wells create a barrier from rain and snow which helps protect the windows from leaking. They also protect windows from other elements like wind, debris, and critters, all while allowing the most amount of light to enter the basement. The homeowners were happy with these conditions and had HomeSpec’s team proceed with the installations. The pre-production measurements were taken by foreman Ryan and his team while the installations themselves were led by foreman Brandon. The homeowners were happy with their new window wells!
Palmyra Basement Window Crowded with Debris
This basement window had a concrete barrier framing it. However, because it was not covered, debris like rocks and leaves filled the available space.
SunHouse™ Window Well Fitted Around Basement Window
After removing the original concrete frame and debris, the ground surrounding the window was dug out to create a space. The SunHouse™ Window Well was then fitted and secured around the basement window. When working with dirt, things are bound to be messy but only temporarily.
SunHouse™ Window Well Secured and Flooded with Sunlight
After the SunHouse™ Window Well was properly fitted and secured to the home, the dirt was filled back in to avoid tripping hazards. Now, the maximum amount of sunlight can enter this Palmyra basement.
