Water, water everywhere…
and it’s leaking into your basement!
Flooded Window Wells – what do I do? This is not a sight that anyone wants to see when going down the basement stairs. Sometimes it’s a once-in-a-blue-moon freak storm situation where this has not happened before, sometimes it’s a recurring headache with every single heavy rain.
Flooded Window Wells
More often than not, it’s a call to our experts by a frustrated homeowner saying, “My window wells are constantly flooding, what can I do?” Here are some of the things we discuss with our callers that can make a big difference.
Keeping Your Window Wells Clean and Dry
- Getting window well covers that fit properly will not only improve the appearance of your home, and help to keep your window wells clean and dry, and you will only have to do it once! Our Polycarbonate Window Well Covers keep out snow and rain, dirt and debris, and people and animals; we use a quality plastic that is UV treated for a long, long life span.
- Clean out your window well! Window well covers will also help keep it clean once done, and if you have a drain, will make it a lot less work for you to keep it clean.
- Of course, in some cases a window well cover will not cure all your water woes. There are a number of other things that impact your window wells. Look up–are your gutters clogged or non existent? Look around–what is the lay of your land like? If your home is the lowest area in the block, a window well cover is going to help, but will not be the cure.
In these cases, a professional may be in order. Be sure to get a few bids from different companies, check their ratings on line, and get referrals.
We’ll be glad to give you any help you need to get the right window well cover for your needs. If a picture paints a thousand words in your case, go to https://windowwellexperts.com/contact-us/, explain your situation, and email us a photo. There isn’t much that we haven’t seen, so let us help.
