Water Pooling in Your Window Well?
You’re Not Just Looking at a Puddle. You’re Looking at a Problem.
Your window wells are supposed to protect your basement — not flood it.
But when they’re missing proper drainage, they turn into bathtubs every time it rains.
Water collects. Soil softens. Pressure builds. And the next thing you know, it’s not just a view — it’s a leak.
We’ve seen it a hundred times.
A flooded window well becomes a flooded basement.
And a few inches of water turns into thousands of dollars in damage.
That’s why at UPR, we don’t wait for disaster. We solve the problem at the source — by giving your window wells a place to drain.
Why Window Well Drainage Matters
Your window wells sit below grade — meaning below the natural line of water runoff.
So when it rains, water naturally wants to fill them.
If they don’t have proper drainage, that water has only two places to go: up and over the window… or down through your basement wall.
Neither is good.
Proper drainage prevents that.
We install a vertical drain pipe at the bottom of your window well that connects to a weeping tile system or a gravel-filled sump zone, so water disappears as quickly as it arrives.
It’s a small change. But it makes a huge difference — especially when the next storm hits.
Our Approach to Window Well Drainage
At UPR, we don’t do cookie-cutter waterproofing.
We assess each window well individually — checking the soil, the foundation grade, the window seal, and the overall drainage pattern of your home.
Then we dig clean, install properly, and leave behind a system that works invisibly but protects powerfully.
No mess. No guesswork. Just clean drainage and a dry basement.
Need a new window well installed entirely? We do that too — complete with gravel backfill, drainage pipe, and safety grates if needed.
Signs Your Window Well Is Failing
Not sure if you’ve got a drainage issue? Your home might already be telling you:
Water sitting at the bottom of your window well
Rust, rot, or water stains on your basement windows
Leaks or puddles inside your basement after rain
Mold or musty odors near lower-level rooms
Soft spots in the ground around your foundation
If you’re seeing these, your window well isn’t just letting light in — it’s letting water in.
