Remove Window and Window Trim
Setup Your Workspace
Emmett removed the window and window trim. He also removed the top portion during demo to cover with stucco.
Close & Seal Window Opening
Next, we needed to close and seal the window opening, while keeping structural integrity.
Waterproof the Wall
Emmett rolled this foundation waterproofing over all of the cinder blocks with a paint roller, then he used a brush to thoroughly cover the corners and edges.
Backfill the Well
Before you can begin filling it, you’ll need to dig 6″ below the window opening, then fill that with a 6″ layer of gravel.
Finishing Details
Setup Your Workspace
Emmett set a rebar frame, then poured concrete flush to the existing patio.
I hope in the rare chance you ever need to close in a basement window and are looking for a DIY solution, this post will come in handy.
