Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Custom Concrete Window Well and Basement Drainage - Portland, OR

The owner of this home called John's because she had 2 windows in her basement without wells, and they had been leaking into her home for many years. The constant leaking caused water to collect on her basement floor, and with no proper drainage system, it would sit until it eventually evaporated, or seeped into the concrete floor. Additionally, she had a stairwell leading down into her basement, with a drain at the bottom to collect all rain water. The drain was attached to her existing underground Rain Drain piping which was connected to her gutter downspouts. However, there was no Sump Pump to ensure proper expulsion of the collected rain water - causing water to bubble back out of the drain. We scheduled her with our Design Specialist, and he arrived soon after, to perform a thorough inspection of the homes basement. After his inspection, he approached the homeowner with thoughtful and effective solutions. To address the leaking basement windows, he recommended building a custom concrete window wells on the exterior to prevent ground water from entering the basement. As for the drain at the bottom of the stairwell, he suggested installing a SuperSump Pump, as well as a new underground RainDrain System to carry all collected rain water from the drain and the gutters far away from the home. At the end of the RainDrain Line, he recommended installing a LawnScape Outlet to evenly disperse all of the water throughout the lawn, rather than creating a large puddle at the expulsion site. The homeowner was pleased with her job proposal, and gave us her approval to begin the job. Our crew of Waterproofing Experts arrived the morning the job was scheduled, and completed all of the work in a timely manner, with high attention to detail. Our Electrical Division also came to the home, to install a Dedicated Electrical Circuit, to ensure 24/7 operation of the SuperSump Pump.
