Leaky Windows
Water will find its way into your basement in any way it can. Even if you seal off your concrete walls and install a perimeter drain, leaks can still occur through a variety of ways.

Basement windows are most often made out of steel or wood. As these materials age, they will begin to rust, corrode, and decay.
