The Slope Is Your Friend

Mount Washington is built on hillsides, and for egress work, hills are helpful. On the downhill side of the house, the grade drops away — which can put the basement window close to grade level, meaning a shallow well, less digging, and sometimes the 5.0-square-foot grade-level allowance instead of 5.7. We read the slope on every visit and site the window where gravity helps.

Stone Houses, Careful Cutting

The neighborhood's older stone houses need the careful approach — thick irregular walls, slow cutting, proper support above the opening. The newer construction on the hills is typically poured or block, faster work. Either way, the free visit identifies the wall and we cut it right.

Drainage Downhill

Slopes move water, and Mount Washington moves a lot of it in a storm. Well drainage here ties into the downhill flow — we grade and drain so the well sheds water with the slope instead of fighting it. A well at the bottom of a hill without drainage is a catch basin; with drainage, it is a non-issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the hillside make the job cheaper?

Often, on the downhill side — shallower wells mean less digging. We site the window to take advantage of your grade.

What about water running down the hill toward the well?

We grade and drain with the slope: the well gets a drain tie-in and the surface is shaped to carry hillside runoff past it, not into it.
