Hamilton • In-house crews
Most “mystery” basement floods in Durand, Hamilton start at a window well with no drain. We install wells that empty, covers that fit, and membranes that do not peel in three winters.
Window Well Repair — no obligation
Hamilton does not fail foundations in theory. It fails them with heavy glacial clay over the Niagara Escarpment, with wet lower-city soils and drier mountain-top lots. Century brick homes downtown, 1940s–60s bungalows on the mountain, and newer infill in Stoney Creek and Binbrook. When we install and waterproof window wells here, we design for that — not a generic “Southern Ontario” brochure.
Durand brick homes crack at the stair-step mortar joints when the escarpment clay moves.
We still treat this as a Hamilton job: same crews, same warranty, but we show up already knowing how Durand lots drain (or don’t).
Free inspection. Photos. A number. No hard close.

Sized for the window, with a gravel base and a drain tied to weeping tile or a dedicated line.
The window-to-well joint is where cheap jobs leak. We treat it like a roof penetration, because it is.

Yes. A well without a drain is a planter that floods your basement.
If the well is sound and above grade. If it is crushed or buried, replace it.
Egress wells have size and ladder rules. We install to code so you do not fail a future inspection.
If the well was the path, yes. If the wall below the window also leaks, we say so and waterproof that too.
Often a day. Multiple wells or tied-in tile take longer.
We typically reply the same business day.
