Specialty Waterproofing Products

We offer many extra waterproofing products to help solve leaking basement and crawl space issues in Missouri.  Here are some of the more common solutions to every day problems.

Clean Bright Window Wells
basement window wellsIf your window wells are rusty, ugly or open at the top, they can be dramatically improved. Window wells without covers let in leaves and debris, and rain and gutter overflow water gets in. The dirt bottom allows weeds to grow and mud to splash up onto your windows. All this makes for a pretty lousy view from inside the basement - the space you want to improve.

The light-colored SunHouseTM Window Well, features a sturdy, clear cover that fits nicely and a bottom that prevents weed growth as well as keeps leaves, debris and rain out. One of the SunHouse'sTM best benefits is that with the clean, light-colored bottom a lot more sunlight bounces into your basement and brightens up a space where we can use all the light we can get!


Do Your Basement Windows Leak?
Leaking Basement Window SolutionWhen there is water outside of a basement window, it will leak into the basement. Besides the obvious - fix the gutters, re-grade if possible and extend the downspouts - if you don't do something else the window will likely leak again in the future. The next best thing to do is install a drain from the window well to the perimeter basement waterproofing drainage system around your basement that leads to the sump pump. This is a good back-up plan to the best option of a gravity drain from the window well to a low spot in the yard, draining to daylight.

WellDuct Solves Leaky Basement Windows
A simple system called a WellDuct, a vertical extension of the WaterGuard System, drains water from the window well before the window leaks in the even that water rises in the well.

A drain hole is drilled through your basement wall just under the windowsill. If the wall is a block wall, the hole is lined with a section of pipe. Then a grate is installed on the outside over the hole or a specialized drain inlet is installed. The WellDuct conduit itself is installed on the inside of your basement wall.

If water rises to threaten the window, it goes through the grate, through the wall, down the WellDuct, through your inside basement waterproofing drain system and to the sump pump.
