Free Window Well Inspections - Don't Skip This Before Summer

Most homeowners don't think about their window wells until water is already in the basement. By then, the problem is a lot more expensive than it needed to be. That's exactly why a quick inspection now - before the heat of summer and the next round of heavy rain - can save you a serious headache down the road.

We're currently offering free inspections and estimates on window well replacements, covers, drainage, and paver or flagstone repairs. We work on all kinds of setups - steel wells with slope covers, concrete egress wells with grate covers, wells built into decks, and everything in between. If it's around your basement windows, we know it.

Here's what we typically look at during an inspection: how the well is seated against the foundation, whether the cover is doing its job keeping debris and water out, how drainage is holding up, and whether the well itself has shifted, cracked, or corroded. Any one of those issues left unchecked can lead to moisture getting into your basement. None of them are fun to deal with after the fact.

Window well covers are one of those things that seem minor until they're not. A cover that fits properly - whether that's a clear slope style that lets light in or a grate cover that keeps critters and leaves out - makes a real difference in how the well performs over time. We fit and install covers for all shapes and sizes, and we make sure they're secured right so they don't shift or collect standing water on top.

If you've got window wells on your home and you honestly can't remember the last time anyone looked at them, that's a pretty good sign it's time. Give us a call and we'll come take a look - no cost, no obligation, just a straight answer on where things stand.
