Window Wells

What are window wells

Window wells are protective enclosures installed around below-grade or near-grade basement windows to prevent soil and backfill from pressing against or collapsing around the window opening. They also create space for light, ventilation, and emergency egress while helping manage water around basement windows.

Our window wells are made from corrosion-resistant, pre-galvanized steel, providing long-lasting durability in below-grade conditions. By extending partially below grade, window wells help shield basement windows from soil pressure and reduce the risk of water accumulation and damage.

Proper drainage is a critical component of an effective window well system. Each window well should include a window well drain, which is essentially a vertical section of weeping tile installed beneath the well. This drain allows water that collects in the window well to flow downward into the main weeping tile system rather than pooling around the window frame.

Our Process

Our window well installation process begins with evaluating the location, size, and drainage requirements of each basement window. We ensure the window well selected provides adequate clearance and meets functional and safety requirements.

A window well drain is installed beneath each window well and connected directly to the weeping tile system. This allows water to be efficiently directed toward the sump liner, where it is pumped out and safely discharged away from the home. Proper drainage helps prevent water buildup, window leaks, and potential foundation issues.

Once drainage is in place, the window well is securely installed and backfilled to maintain stability and prevent soil movement. We take care to ensure the well is properly positioned and finished for long-term performance.

We carry standard window well sizes in stock for timely installations, and custom-sized window wells are available upon request to accommodate unique window dimensions or site conditions.
