During storms and with heavy rainfall, window wells can oftentimes fill up with water that can leak into the basement. It’s important to understand how window well drainage can negatively affect your home.

Basement leakage can be caused by window drainage.

If window wells are not properly installed, improperly sized, or is clogged, water drainage can cause water to leak into the basement. And if the window well isn’t draining properly, water can accumulate in the well. This accumulated water can drain directly into your basement causing substantial damage.

Problem & Solution:
