Basement Window Leak Repair in Lexington, KY

Reseal, reframe, or fix the window well drainage that is usually the actual cause.

Usually not the window

Most basement window leaks are a window well with nowhere to drain. The well fills, the water rises above the sill, and the window does exactly what any window would do in that situation.

Fixing the seal on a window sitting in a well full of water buys you one storm.

When it is the window

Old steel frames, failed glazing seal, a sill with no slope. Those are genuine window repairs and we do them, once we have established the well is not the thing that needs fixing.

Common questions

What are the signs my basement or foundation needs waterproofing?

White chalky residue on block, a musty smell that never clears, cracks that keep growing, rust at the base of appliances, damp patches that darken a day or two after rain, and humidity you can feel. Any sign of water damage or mold is worth an inspection before it becomes structural.

How long does a typical waterproofing project take?

Anywhere from three days to a week, depending on the scope of work and site conditions. You will get a specific timeline with your written scope rather than a guess over the phone.

Do you offer warranties for your waterproofing services?

Yes. Every system we install carries a lifetime labor warranty.

What is the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing, and which do I need?

Interior work accepts that water is going to reach the wall, and gives it somewhere to go: a drain at the footing that carries it to a pump instead of onto your floor. Exterior work digs down along the outside of the wall and stops the water before it ever gets there. Interior costs less and is far less disruptive, and it is what most Lexington houses get. Exterior is the answer when the wall itself is the problem. Which one you need comes out of the inspection, not out of a phone call.

Water where it shouldn't be?

Call, or text a photo of the wall and we will tell you what we are looking at.
