HEAVY RAIN CAN EXPOSE WINDOW WELL PROBLEMS FAST

When window wells are old, damaged, too shallow, or full of soil and debris, heavy rain can quickly become a problem. Water may pool around basement windows, mud can collect inside the well, and soil or landscaping material can push against the window area.

A properly installed window well helps protect your basement windows, keep the area cleaner, and improve drainage around your home.

WHY WINDOW WELLS MATTER

Helps with
Heavy Rain

A proper window well helps keep soil, mud, and surface water away from basement windows during wet weather.

Improves
Drainage

Clean drainage rock helps reduce mud buildup and allows water to move down instead of sitting against the window.

Protects the
Window Area

Window wells hold back soil, rock, mulch, and landscaping material so they do not press directly against basement windows.

OUR WINDOW WELL SERVICES

We provide both installation and replacement services for residential properties in Edmonton and surrounding areas.

NEW WINDOW WELL
INSTALLATION

If your basement window needs better protection from soil, rock, mulch, or surface water, we can install a new window well as part of your landscaping, grading, or drainage project.

  • New landscaping around the house
  • Rock beds along the foundation
  • Basement windows without proper protection
  • Final grade or drainage improvements
  • Soil sitting too close to windows

WINDOW WELL
REPLACEMENT

If your existing window well is rusted, damaged, too shallow, full of mud, or pulling away from the foundation of your home, we can remove it and install a new one properly.

  • Rusted, damaged, or bent window wells
  • Poor drainage
  • Mud-filled wells
  • Wells sitting too low
  • Water pooling near basement windows

SIGNS YOU MAY NEED A NEW WINDOW WELL

Not sure if your window well needs to be replaced or upgraded? Here are some common signs that it may not be doing its job properly.

  • Water pooling inside the window well
  • Mud collecting against the basement window
  • Rusted or damaged metal window well
  • Window well pulling away from the foundation
  • Soil, mulch, or rock spilling into the well
  • Poor grading around the basement window
  • Drainage rock filled with soil or debris
  • Window well sitting too low
  • Basement window leaking during rain
  • Messy, unsafe, or overgrown window area

After heavy rain, window well problems are often easier to spot. If water is sitting near your basement window, it is worth having the area looked at before the next storm.

WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH WINDOW WELL INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT

Every property is a little different, but our window well work can include excavation, removal, installation, drainage rock, backfill, grading, and cleanup

Excavation

We dig out around the basement window to create the proper space and depth for the new window well.

Old Window Well Removal

For replacements, we remove the existing window well and clear out built-up soil, mud, rock, and debris.

New Window Well Installation

The new window well is positioned at the proper height and securely attached to the foundation.

Drainage Rock

Clean rock is installed inside the well to help reduce mud buildup and support drainage.

Landscape Fabric

Fabric can be installed where appropriate to help separate soil from drainage rock.

Backfill

The area around the outside of the window well is backfilled properly.

Grading

The surrounding area is shaped to help move surface water away from the foundation.

Final Cleanup

Old materials are hauled away and the work area is cleaned up.

OUR STEP-BY-STEP WINDOW WELL INSTALLATION PROCESS

We keep the process straightforward so you know what to expect from start to finish.

Step 1: Site Review

We look at the basement window, existing grade, surrounding landscaping, drainage concerns, and access to the work area.

Step 2: Dig Out the Area

The area around the window is excavated so there is enough room for the window well, drainage rock, and proper backfill.

Step 3: Remove Old Materials

For replacements, we remove the old window well and clean out mud, soil, debris, and unsuitable material.

Step 4: Install the Window Well

The new window well is placed at the correct height and securely fastened to the foundation.

Step 5: Add Drainage Rock and Fabric

Clean drainage rock is installed inside the window well. Landscape fabric may be used where needed to help keep soil separate from the rock.

Step 6: Backfill and Grade

The area around the window well is backfilled and graded to help direct surface water away from the foundation.

Step 7: Final Cleanup

We clean the work area, remove old materials, and leave the space neat and finished.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BASEMENT LEAKS

Window wells help protect basement windows from soil, debris, and surface water. However, they are not a full foundation waterproofing solution.

If water is entering through foundation cracks, failed window seals, weeping tile issues, or waterproofing problems, additional repairs may be required by a qualified foundation or waterproofing specialist.

We will always be upfront if the issue appears to be more than a landscaping or window well problem.
