Window Well Installation

In homes with window wells below ground level, proper installation to ensure they have effective drainage is necessary. Without proper drainage, the window wells will fill with water over time, leading to serious problems. The water will pour through the seals of the windows and into the basement, causing damage to walls, floors and furniture, and causing a headache for you.

• First, the excavation is performed from the window, right down to the weeping tile, which is located below the level of the basement floor on the exterior
• After this, a 4″ drainpipe with filter cloth is installed that extends from the top of the weeping tile or gravel drainage layer, to approximately 4″ below the height of the windowsill
• Then the window well is fastened to the wall
• The excavation is backfilled with native soil
• Gravel is poured inside the window well to facilitate drainage into the installed drain pipe
