How A WellDuct® System is Installed

The basement window for a house in VA in need of quality basement repairs

Excess water from outside will often find its way into your home. It can travel through cracks in your foundation or through the edges of your basement windows. Avoiding the damage these leaks cause can be tricky without the proper drainage installations.

However, expert technicians from  NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair can help you by providing high-quality basement repairs, crawl space waterproofing, and foundation seals. Among the best preventive additions we offer is the WellDuct® Basement Window System. Here’s what you should know about it.

Why You May Require a WellDuct® System

Whether they move into a home with a finished or unfinished basement, homeowners tend not to consider the condition of their windows. However, as their frames and seals break down with age, they can become vulnerable to leaks and even flooding, which can then lead to unexpected water damage.

That’s why it may be appropriate to install one or more WellDuct® Systems in your basement. They are highly-effective in redirecting  flood or groundwater from your windows and your home’s foundation. Below is a step-by-step guide to our installation process.

How A WellDuct® System is Installed

  1. Installing a perimeter drain or drywell

First, we install a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system inside your home along the footer.

  1. Direct water into your perimeter drainage system

Then, we channel water from your window well into the well duct which is attached to your wall and transports water directly to the WaterGuard System.

  1. Seal the drain

Then, the WaterGuard system channels the water to the sump pump system that we have installed which in turns discharges the excess water to an appropriate and predetermined location outside your home.

Through this simple, easy process, you can save your home from countless instances of flooding and the huge expenses of water damage.
