What are the Benefits of Window Well Installation?

Natural Lighting

A window well lets natural light into the basement. Most basements in Toronto properties are below the ground level and receive limited light. However, a carefully installed window well can allow more natural light into your basement.

Better Ventilation

Most basements are musty and often have a damp smell because their walls are constantly wet. Installing a window well can allow fresh air into the basement and ensure better air circulation. When combined with natural lighting, proper ventilation can reduce moisture-related issues in the basement.

Compliance with the Law

Building codes in Toronto and most insurance policies require residential properties with basement windows to install window wells. Installing window wells helps you adhere to such building requirements, which is crucial for home insurance. If you ever decide to sell your home, compliance with the local building regulations will be a major consideration.

Emergency Exit

Your basement window well can also be an emergency exit during dangerous situations like a burglary or fire. Note that a window well creates enough space for someone to exit and reach a safe place outside during a time of crisis.

Protect Your Property’s Foundation

Window wells protect foundation walls from damage in many ways. During heavy rains or when snow begins to melt, the water needs to go somewhere. Without a window well, it can pool around the foundation or seep into your property. This can weaken and eventually damage your foundation. A window well acts as an extension of your property’s drainage system that collects and directs water away from the foundation.

Prevent Water Damage

If snowmelt or rainwater accumulates near the foundation or wall beneath your basement windows, it will finally find its way into your basement. This can lead to rot, mold growth, and other forms of water-related damage, leading to costly repairs. A window well can direct the water away from your home.

Improve Curb Appeal

By draining and directing water away from your property’s foundation, window wells help prevent unsightly stains on the walls. Also, an attractive window well can improve your property’s exterior charm and significantly increase its resale value.

What’s the Cost of Window Well Installation?

The total cost of installing a window well varies depending on the well’s size and additional features such as a cover for the well, anti-corrosion or anti-ruts coating, aesthetic finishes, and more. Other factors include labour, types of soil, drainage, and the specific materials used. Here’s the cost breakdown for window well materials.
