Drywell Digging and Weatherstripping

Knowing the challenges of managing stormwater in Chicago, Jan did his research and found drywells as a perfect solution to redirecting stormwater to places other than Chicago’s combined sewer system. To install the drywell, Jan dug out the cavity, backfilled with peagravel, assembled, installed, covered and resodded. One would never guess there’s a drywell working wonders in this bungalow’s backyard. Jan also restored 3 inoperable double hung windows to bring back natural ventilation, and installed a salvaged front door which he weatherstripped using a bronze lock-in suction sealing.
