Client: Residential Property Owner
Service Provider: Zavza Seal LLC
Problem
A homeowner in Shoreham, NY reached out to Zavza Seal LLC regarding their damaged egress well. Over time, the existing egress well had deteriorated significantly and was no longer functioning properly. The structure showed signs of corrosion, loose attachments, and was overrun with vegetation, which blocked proper drainage. These conditions not only created a safety hazard but also posed a risk of water pooling near the foundation, potentially leading to leaks and basement moisture problems.
The client needed a reliable and code-compliant egress well installation that would improve safety, ensure proper drainage, and protect the foundation wall from water damage.
Solution
The Zavza Seal team developed a comprehensive plan to replace the damaged egress well with a durable, properly drained, and waterproofed system.
Scope of Work
- Demolition and Site Preparation:
We demolished and disposed of the existing damaged egress well completely, removing all debris from the site.
We cleared out all vegetation growth in and around the well area to eliminate obstructions to drainage. - Excavation and Installation:
Our team excavated the area to accommodate the size and shape of the new well.
We installed a new galvanized steel egress window well as specified in Exhibit A, ensuring a precise fit.
To comply with safety requirements, we also installed an egress escape ladder securely inside the well. - Securing and Drainage System:
The new egress well was fastened securely to the foundation wall for long-term stability.
We installed a 6-inch bed of gravel at the bottom of the well to improve drainage.
A 3-foot-deep self-contained drainage system was also installed to prevent water accumulation. - Waterproofing and Sealing:
Finally, we sealed and waterproofed the connection points and surrounding area to complete the installation, ensuring the foundation remained protected against water intrusion.
Result
The client was extremely pleased with the results. The new egress well installation in Shoreham, NY not only enhanced the safety and accessibility of the basement area but also improved drainage and protected the foundation from moisture damage. The clean, professional finish added value to the property and gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing that the installation met current building codes and waterproofing standards.
