Why install a window well?
Quebec Standards
In Quebec, the standard requires a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 cm) between the ground and the bottom of the foundation window. If this distance is less, a window well becomes mandatory to comply with municipal regulations and ensure effective drainage.
Protecting windows from moisture
Installing a window well around foundation windows prevents water from accumulating at the base of the windows. This helps protect the house structure and avoid moisture-related damage, such as mold or concrete deterioration.
Facilitate drainage around the foundation
A window well helps direct water away from the foundation windows, reducing the risk of stagnation near the walls. This helps prevent moisture and protects the foundation from water infiltration that could cause long-term damage.
Ensuring the longevity of the foundation
A well-installed window well extends the life of your foundation by protecting foundation windows from the harmful effects of moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. This helps prevent cracks and premature wear, thus contributing to the stability and durability of your home's structure.
Installation of a window well
1. Site preparation and excavation
We begin by preparing the area around the foundation window by carefully excavating to clear the space needed for the installation of the window well. This step ensures a clean environment and properly executed work.
3. Drainage adjustment
We ensure that the water is properly directed toward the drain, at the foundation footing level, to guarantee optimal drainage. This prevents moisture buildup around the foundation and protects the structure.
2. Installation of the window well
The drain pipe is lowered to the level of the drain, allowing for effective water drainage. We then install the window well, made of metal or pavers, around the foundation window to ensure optimal protection against moisture.
4. Backfilling and finishing
Once the window well is installed, we proceed with backfilling the area around the foundation, ensuring that the site is restored. We make sure that the overall appearance of the area is neat and that the drainage is functioning properly to protect the foundation.
