Why is window well leak repair needed so often in Arlington?
Arlington's sloped lots and finished basements mean many homes have window wells that collect storm runoff. When the well drain is clogged or was never installed, water rises above the sill and leaks into finished space.
How is window well leak repair done in Arlington homes?
Repairs usually include clearing or adding a drain at the bottom of the well tied to the footing drain or sump, refilling with clean gravel, resealing the window frame and installing a cover that still opens easily for egress.
What should Arlington homeowners know before booking leaking basement window work?
Gutters that overflow above the well are a common cause and are worth fixing at the same time.
