Why are window wells necessary?
Window wells prevent soil from collapsing against basement windows and allow natural light into the space while keeping water out. In Bloomington, they are essential for protecting against snow accumulation and heavy spring rains.
Do I need a window well cover?
Yes, covers are highly recommended to keep leaves, debris, and pests out of the well while preventing accidental falls. We can help you select durable covers that allow light in while providing necessary protection.
How do you handle drainage in the well?
We install specific drainage solutions, often connecting to your home's drain tile system or using gravel beds, to ensure water does not pool against the glass. Proper drainage is the most critical component of a successful installation.
Can you replace old, rusted metal wells?
Absolutely, we specialize in removing deteriorated metal wells and replacing them with modern, durable materials that resist rust and corrosion. Upgrading your wells improves both the function and appearance of your home exterior.

Without proper drainage, window wells can act as aquariums, holding water against your glass until it leaks into the basement. We install deep gravel layers and drain connections to ensure water flows away from your home, keeping your basement dry even during heavy storms.
Old galvanized steel wells often rust over time, leading to collapse and soil pressing against your window. We replace these failing units with high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials that maintain their shape and integrity for years to come.
Open wells collect leaves and snow, which can cause rot and block natural light. Installing custom-fitted covers and maintaining the area helps improve energy efficiency. Learn more about window efficiency and maintenance and keeps your view clear.
