Custom Concrete Basement Window Well - Portland, OR

This basement window sat at ground level and water would come back towards it, which had allowed ground water to enter the basement for many years. The water intrusion was not only frustrating to the homeowner, it was also on track to eventually cause substantial destruction to the integrity of the basement wall in the future. The owner of the home called John's after hearing that we were the leading experts in home Waterproofing in her area. We scheduled her with our Design Specialist, and let her know that he would offer her a No-Obligation Free Estimate! She was thrilled to hear this, and was looking forward to hearing his Proposed Solution. After he arrived and performed his inspection, he approached her with his solution. He recommended installing a custom built concrete window well, to prevent ground water from leaking into the basement with a full waterproofing system. She agreed with this solution, and signed the job proposal. Our crew of experts arrived soon after to begin the work. First, they dug out a portion of dirt around the window to make room for the new well. Next, they built the Window Well Form, poured the concrete into it, and allowed it to harden. After removing the form, they filled the Well in with Decorative Pea Gravel, leaving a nice finished appearance. Within the basement we than installed a full waterproofing system with drainage, sump pump, wall system, and a dehumidifier. The devastating future affects of ground water intrusion and damage into this basement will no longer be an issue, thanks to the concrete window well constructed by the experts here at John's!
