Why window well repair fails here

01. No drain

A well is a bucket. Without a drain to tile or daylight, every storm tests the window. In Kerr Village, Oakville, that plays out against glacial clay that stays wet against walls; ravine lots add downhill drainage pressure.

02. Rusted or undersized wells

Old corrugated wells collapse and sit below grade. Water has nowhere honest to go. In Kerr Village, Oakville, that plays out against glacial clay that stays wet against walls; ravine lots add downhill drainage pressure.

03. Missing covers

Leaves plus clay equal a dam. Covers are not cosmetic — they are maintenance you will actually do. In Kerr Village, Oakville, that plays out against glacial clay that stays wet against walls; ravine lots add downhill drainage pressure.

How we actually do the work

1

See how it failed

Staining under the window, rusted metal, soil higher than the well lip.

2

Set a proper well

Sized for the window, with a gravel base and a drain tied to weeping tile or a dedicated line.

3

Flash and seal

The window-to-well joint is where cheap jobs leak. We treat it like a roof penetration, because it is.

4

Cover it

Clear or metal covers that you can still egress through where code requires.

5

Restore grade

Soil should slope away. We do not leave a moat.
