5 Ways Window Well Covers Protect Your Home – Window wells are designed to let natural light into your basement, divert water away from your foundation, and provide a means of escape.

There are potential issues that can arise if your window well remains uncovered.

Pooling/leaking water – If rainwater or melting snow pools inside the window well, water will have no place to go but into your basement, which can prove disastrous for a finished room or valuable belongings stored there.

Small animals – Mice, chipmunks, skunks, and other small animals can get trapped inside the window well. It could be dangerous to remove it yourself, and calling a professional might be costly. Plus, you wouldn’t want one or more of these critters finding their way into your home!

Debris – A window well is the perfect place for debris, such as leaves, twigs, grass clippings, or packed snow to collect. Not only can this obstruct natural light from streaming through the window, but it could allow water to pool inside the window well.

Hazards – Children or pets running and playing in the yard may not always be aware of or paying attention to open window wells, fall in, and get hurt. Likewise, having to clean debris or clear snow from open window wells can be hazardous for you as well.

Hard to clean – Window wells and the basement windows inside the well are below ground level and difficult to clean. Plus, if the window is visible from a finished room inside your basement, who wants to look at a mud-spattered window or a window well filled with debris?
