  1. Tips to Waterproof Your Basement Windows Windows in the basement is a wonderful feature as it adds light and ventilation to the rooms. But the presence of windows also increases the chances of a leaky basement in your home. So, today we have come up with a few tips to waterproof your basement windows. Caulk the Windows Any basement leak repair service provider will agree that caulking or re-caulking is a first step to combat the problem of a leaky window. This might even solve your entire problem without any further problems. However, if the window has been leaking for quite some time now, then there’s a possibility of additional damage to the wooden frame or drywall as well. Install Window Wells A window well helps in capturing and draining the water or moisture away from the area. They are a great means to avoid leaky basement issues. If you already have one installed, then time is to clean them up. It is important to keep them debris-free and add gravel to help in draining water. Inspect Gutters and Downspouts Gutters and downspouts usually get clogged because of fallen leaves and debris, and they are one of the major reasons for leakage and wet basement according to the basement leak repair services. So, before getting further with your leakage repair procedure, make sure that you take out some time for inspecting the gutters and downspouts and cleaning them. Evaluate Grading The grading of your land can have a considerable effect on your windows too. There is a chance of window leakages if the slope of the grading is towards your house instead of the other way around. So, evaluate the grading of your land and make it right in case you find it otherwise.
