Window Repair Services

One of the easiest places for water to get into your basement is through windows.

We often find leaky windows or rotting windows to be a major problem for our clients. Windows in the basement are great to allow more natural light in, and can even provide an escape route in case of emergency.

However, most older buildings often do not have proper drainage around the window which has allowed water to slowly eat away at basement windows over time and cause basement flooding.

Therefore, aside from repairing the leaky or damaged window, it is important to stop water from being able to damage the repaired window as well.

Oriole typically handles this issue by adding drainage near the window to direct water away from the window. In the slider above, you can see an example of an above-ground window with a small drain nearby.

If you have an egress window and egress well (small cutout in the ground around the window to allow more light and space to escape in event of emergency), we can add drains to it as well.

These drains are connected to the rest of your basement drainage solution, often allowing water to be collected and then pumped out to keep your basement nice and dry.

Beyond improving the value of your home, egress windows are necessary for any areas of the basement that are considered living spaces. These allow fast access for you to get out, but also for emergency personnel to get in should they need to. You’ll want an experienced company like Oriole who know all of the building codes and can build proper egress windows for your home if you need to add one of these windows.

Another important consideration is making sure the grading of your land is sloping away from your home. This will allow more water to naturally flow down your land rather than collect near the entry-points of your basement, namely windows and doors. Oriole can help you handle this as well as other exterior waterproofing solutions to help keep water away from your home as much as possible!

It’s important to keep your windows in good shape. Aside from leakage issues, a window with a loose or broken frame will also cause the basement to become drafty. You will lose money from rising energy costs.

If the window deterioration is bad enough to the point that there are larger cracks or holes, then insects or rodents might also find their way into your basement through your windows.

Testimonials

So grateful that Oriole Waterproofing waterproofed my parents’ basement in September 2014. Last weekend, Catonsville was hit by a devastating, historic storm. After 10 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours and their house was surrounded by a foot of water, their basement had not one drop of water. Sadly, many neighbors got more than a foot of water in their basements. So thank you.

Oriole waterproofed my basement in Bel Air in Feb 2018. Oriole’s pricing was very competitive, and the team was professional, easy to work with, and stayed on schedule. Highly recommend!

Julianne Webster

I met with the owner to discuss some potential problems and solutions for waterproofing my basement. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and honest about the work that needed to be done, and his estimate was very reasonable. I am looking forward to working with Oriole Basement Waterproofing to complete my project in the near future.

Alex Stapleton

My family & I came home from vacation to discover our basement had flooded. After calling a few places, Oriole beat the competition on price & responsiveness. They were able to come out later that afternoon for an estimate. The owner & crew were knowledgeable and quick. It was a great experience throughout a very stressful event.
