Two Herndons, Two Kinds of Basement
Herndon is a town of two eras: the older neighborhoods near downtown with block-wall basements from the 60s and 70s, and the newer infill and townhome communities with poured walls. The older homes need the full treatment — new cut, new well, new drainage, because the original windows never came close to code. The newer homes sometimes have larger windows already, but "larger" is not "code-sized" — we measure the clear opening and the sill height and tell you the truth.
What the Free Visit Catches
On older Herndon homes we check the block wall condition around the proposed opening — decades of moisture can soften block, and we want to know before we cut, not during. On newer homes we verify the existing window against all five code numbers. Either way, you get a straight answer and an itemized estimate, not a sales pitch.
Drainage on Herndon's Clay
Herndon soil holds water — the local clay does not percolate quickly, which makes well drainage non-negotiable rather than optional. Every well we build here gets a real drain connection, not a gravel pit and a hope. Call (301) 679-9193 for a free written estimate in Herndon.
