Window wells are the most ignored part of the exterior and one of the most consequential. A well packed with leaves and silt has no drainage, so it becomes a bucket sitting against a basement window. That is the actual mechanism behind a large share of basement water intrusion, and clearing it costs almost nothing.

What this means in Woodland Park specifically

Tree cover and organic staining

Dense pine cover drops needles and pitch year round. Pitch on glass is the defining local problem, and it requires solvent and patience rather than force.

Dust and wind exposure

Dirt and gravel roads throughout the outlying subdivisions generate constant road dust, and it is the primary soiling source rather than plains grit.

Local housing stock

Mountain homes with steep pitches, significant exposed wood, and a strong presence of large view-facing glass installed to capture the Pikes Peak outlook.

Woodland Park sits at approximately 8,465 feet.

What is included

Leaves, silt, and debris removed from every well
Drain checked for flow where a drain exists
Well glass and frames cleaned

How we do it

1
Clear the well
Everything out, down to the gravel base. Debris on top is not the problem, the packed silt underneath is.
2
Check drainage
Where a drain exists we test it with water. A well with a blocked drain is a bucket and it is worth knowing before spring runoff.
3
Clean the glass
Basement window glass and frames cleaned while the well is open, which is the only time it is practical.
4
Assess covers
Covers cleaned and refitted. Where there is no cover we will tell you whether the well actually needs one based on what we found in it.

What it costs

Priced per well with a minimum, and commonly bundled with gutter cleaning since both are debris work.

We quote Woodland Park properties before starting, and the number you hear is the number you pay. If something on site changes the scope, you hear about it before we do the work rather than on the invoice.

Window Wells questions from Woodland Park

Why does my window well fill with water?

Almost always a blocked or absent drain. The well is designed to shed water into a drain tied to your perimeter system. Once silt seals that drain, the well holds water against the window, and basement window seals are not built to hold back standing water.

Do I need covers?

They dramatically cut how much debris and rain enters and they are inexpensive. On egress wells make sure any cover you use is releasable from inside, since that window is a legal escape route.

How often should wells be cleared?

Once a year for most, after leaf drop. Under heavy tree cover, twice, because a single fall can fill a well completely.
