Problem:

The homeowner experienced significant water intrusion in the block foundation wall around a basement window well. Moisture was penetrating the wall, causing both structural and interior damage. A long-term waterproofing and repair solution was necessary to protect the basement and prevent further deterioration.

Solution:

Work Area A: Window Well and Foundation Wall (Approx. 24 sq. ft.)
We began by removing the existing window well to access the affected foundation area. The soil on both sides of the window well was excavated down to the footing, exposing the entire damaged section. The block wall was thoroughly cleaned to remove debris and any compromised material.

We patched and filled all visible voids, ensuring a smooth and stable surface. Over the repaired wall, we applied a high-performance liquid waterproofing membrane followed by a protection mat, covering an area approximately 4 feet wide by 6 feet deep for maximum protection.

Once waterproofing was complete, we replaced the window well, carefully backfilled the area to the original grade, and reinstalled the border blocks and gravel to restore both function and appearance.
