Hamilton • In-house crews
Most “mystery” basement floods in Lakeside, Stoney Creek 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
If you own a home in Lakeside, Stoney Creek, you already know the soil story even if nobody named it: lake-plain clay below the escarpment and wetter Fruitland and Winona soils. Post-war bungalows, 1990s Heritage Green homes, and lakeside lots facing Ontario. When we install and waterproof window wells here, we design for that — not a generic “Southern Ontario” brochure.
Lakeside sits on the same lake-plain clay below the escarpment and wetter Fruitland and Winona soils. The housing mix is post-war bungalows, 1990s heritage green homes, and lakeside lots facing ontario.
We still treat this as a Stoney Creek job: same crews, same warranty, but we show up already knowing how Lakeside lots drain (or don’t).

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.
