Window Well Installation & Repair

Window wells are installed where basement windows are below grade level. The purpose of the corrugated metal window well is to prevent the surrounding clay and top soil from filling the pit adjacent to the window. The metal window well does not stop any water from entering the pit and need not be attached to the foundation wall. The pit at the window is drained by several methods to the weeping tile at the bottom of the foundation. Good drainage is essential otherwise the pit will fill with water and leak into the basement in the area where the concrete wall and the metal or wood window join. The experts at Honestly Handy will explain the different drainage systems and the costs and benefits of each.

​

Most basements, in order to meet local and state code, have numerous window wells. These are crucial to your safety and exit planning if ever needed.

Honestly Handy can repair or replace your existing window wells around your house.
