Leaking Basement Window
This basement window in Deerwood, MN was the site of much of the leaking in the basement. As you can see in this photo, water was carrying sediment with it into the basement.

Our Design Specialist measures between the basement wall and water heater to determine if we can work behind this important basement utility.
