Window Well Repair — no obligation
Dundas does not fail foundations in theory. It fails them with valley clay at the base of the escarpment that stays saturated after rain. Heritage downtown streets, hillside lots, and 1960s–80s pockets near University Gardens. When we install and waterproof window wells here, we design for that — not a generic “Southern Ontario” brochure.

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.
