Old windows letting water into basement
I have 4, original to my 1956 house, basement windows that are letting in water to the basement. We had a big multi day rain. A day after I went into the basement and noticed the carpet where these windows are was wet. I removed the carpet and dried everything with fans and a dehumidifier I'd like to get these replace with some glass block. Has anyone done that process? Is it something your average Joe can do? I am also unsure of the grading of these. How would I go about grading the dirt so they slope away from the windows? Any thoughts and what your do in this situation would be helpful. Thanks. submitted by /u/ZestyLoad [link] [comments]
