Leaking Basement Windows

Basement windows can leak for various reasons, including:

• Poor Installation: Openings can appear in incorrectly installed windows, allowing water to enter your basement. 
• Age: Older windows are more likely to leak because of temperature fluctuations and general wear and tear.
• Elements: Adverse weather here in Ohio can degrade the windows in your basement, resulting in leaks. 
• Exterior Pressure: Hydrostatic pressure from saturated, expansive clay-based soils can push water through cracks in basement windows.
• Drainage Problems: Water often accumulates in basement window wells, causing internal leaks.
• Material: Wood, metal, vinyl, and other materials are vulnerable to corrosion and decay, increasing the likelihood of leakage.
