Replacing a Window in Owensboro, KY

When there is water outside of a basement window, it will leak into the basement. This was becoming an issue for a homeowner in Owensboro, KY. There are physical signs to look out for if the window of a basement is suspected to be leaking.

There were solutions to this problem that the homeowner was ready to solve.
