   Question    posted to Basement Waterproofers on 06/16/08 07:32 AM, White Plains, NY 10607
I have run-off from my backyard during heavy rain falls that leak through the ground level windows in my basement. Should I seal up the windows or should I have the backyard "graded" at a different angle?

Afternoon,

The best way to fix this problem is to grade away from the house.  Water heading towards your house is never a good thing and will lead to future problems.  We have been dealing with water issues for over ten years and would be glad to help out with your water problem.

Thank you,
