Window Well Waterproofing and Repair

The key to a watertight window well is drainage. Our window well drainage systems go above and beyond what is required to ensure that water flows into your weeping tile and not into your basement. Sealing the window with long-lasting top-quality industrial sealants safeguards your basement from leaks when heavy rains cause water to go against your house.

Often, window wells (especially those installed during renovations) are not installed properly. This results in water buildup due to poor drainage, if any drainage at all. The buildup of water then finds cracks and imperfect seals and drains into the house.

Foolproof Solution

  • Install a vertical drainage pipe that allows water to flow quickly into your weeping tile

  • Fill gravel from top to bottom around the pipe to maximize drainage into the pipe

  • Ensure the grade, gravel and drain cap are at the correct height and depth

  • Make sure all gaps, cracks and openings are sealed

  • Ensure no surface water will flow towards the house or window well
