GHR Egress Windows

Spring rain is the best time to check on your egress window drainage.

When we get several days of rain, it quickly exposes problems that may have been building for months.

The #1 cause of water issues in egress windows is not the window itself.
It’s overflowing gutters or downspouts feeding into buried drain pipes that are clogged, collapsed, or no longer flowing properly.

When that happens, all that water has to go somewhere… and your egress window well often becomes the lowest point.

A quick check during a heavy rain can tell you a lot:
• Are your gutters overflowing?
• Are your downspouts backing up?
• Is water pooling in your window well?

Catching these issues early can prevent basement flooding, foundation problems, and expensive repairs later.

If your egress window is holding water or not draining properly, it’s best to address it before the next big storm hits.

Give us a call and we can help diagnose the issue before it turns into a bigger problem.
