Stop water from entering through your basement windows.
We can replace your current window wells that may be damaged, rotten and not functioning or provide window wells to windows that require them but were never installed.
A Properly Functioning Window Well
A proper functioning well is one that drains down to your drain pipe (weeping tile) system. This is accomplished by a french drain in the well. Usually this is a piece of drainage pipe that runs from the weeping tile to the center of the well below the window. It’s not connected directly to your weeping tile but rather it is in bedded in the drainage stone just above the weeping tile at the side of your home’s footing. This pipe should be filled with clear stone. There’s more stone in the well that covers the pipe.
A Failed Window Well
A failed window well is one that either was never installed with a drainage pipe or one that is badly clogged. When this is the case, water enters the well and doesn’t drain quickly enough, and this leads to the water building up and seeping in at the bottom of the window.

Our Comprehensive Foundation Repair Process
Before we start
To provide a detailed estimate, an initial visit will be necessary to discuss the issues or changes you would like to address. During this visit, we will identify whether any structural work is required. If it is, a second visit will likely be scheduled with the appropriate engineer.
Planning your project
Plans and engineering letters are typically only needed for structural repairs that involve changes to your home's structure. This includes adding or enlarging windows and doorways, as well as lowering basements. On the other hand, waterproofing, crack repairs, and smaller structural fixes usually do not require permits or drawings.
Getting the project done
After our estimate is accepted, we schedule the project. Once on-site, we strive to complete the work on time, within budget, safely, and with minimal disruption to you, your family, and your neighbours.
