The Window Well

Included in the scope of the foundation tuck-pointing was taking a look at the foundation around the window well. There had been some concerns about the wall above the window well and the foundation needed to be investigated.

The concrete skim coat on the cellar entry had cracked and was starting to come loose so that was removed (see the stone foundation wall at the far end of the window well).

The concrete floor was removed.

And a lot of dirt was removed (see the big piles, duh).

The foundation was inspected and no issues were discovered, which is a good thing.

They also sent a scope down the drain to make sure it was intact, connected, and working properly.

Once again, everything checked out.

So the dirt was replaced and compacted.

Class-5 was brought in to provide a solid base.

And new concrete was poured.

And the foundation wall between the window well and cellar stairs was tuck-pointed.

And all the foundation tuck-pointing is done.
