Dry Wells in Suffolk County

Dry wells in Suffolk County are underground structures that redirect unwanted water to a new location. Its porous walls allow water to percolate through and move further underground. Dry wells are typically installed in parking lots and yards to manage water flow. They operate by gravity and can be connected to multiple pipes or sources, such as home gutters, window wells, and catch basins.

Window well flooding is a common problem on the north shore of Long Island due to the soil being predominantly clay and rock. Anyone who has dug in clay soil knows how dense it can be and how long it stays wet. When a fast-moving rainstorm moves in the area, the soil becomes so saturated that window wells begin to fill up with water, which results in water entering your basement from around the window frame.

Window Well Drain – Our waterproofing company’s process begins with installing a hand-dug dry well at least 10 feet from your home’s foundation. The next step is trenching a 4-inch pipe from the bottom of the window well. This 4-inch pipe will act as the drain and allow water to travel from the window well to the hand-dug dry well.

Window Well Taps – Window well taps are used with a French drain. Window well taps are 1 ½ PVC pipes attached to the French drain channel. They are set in such a way that if the window wells begin to fill up with water, the drains will activate and direct the water into the French drain. The French drain channel will carry the water to the sump pump and then be ejected from your home, resulting in a dry basement.

Our waterproofing company can install a widow well drain connected to a hand-dug dry well to ensure that your window wells will not fill up with water. Channel drains, catch basins, and a 4-inch pipe can be used to divert water away from your home’s foundation, resulting in a dry basement.

Dry wells can be attached to gutters to redirect water away from your home. Our waterproofing company can also design a property drainage system that will ensure pooling water is directed toward the dry wells. All our work is guaranteed for 10 years. Please contact us for a free evaluation.
