Help Eliminate Wet Basements with Window Well Covers

Home / Articles & Resources / Help Eliminate Wet Basements with Window Well Covers

Spring is here! In addition to the sunshine and warmth, it also means snow thaw and heavy rain. Therefore, one of the most important things on the spring home maintenance checklist should be to install window well covers to guard basements from water damage. Basement window wells can collect water which can easily seep into the home. Experts recommend taking precautions for flood protection, including having a physical barrier of a window well cover, to stop rain water from leaking into basements. It is also important to check a home’s gutters, downspouts, grading, and foundation for proper function to protect from water damage.

Moisture and leakage in a basement can ruin walls, floors, furniture, and valuable stored items. Having a wet basement can also lead to secondary problems such as the growth of mold; this makes the environment in a home very unhealthy. Window well covers not only keep out rain and snow, but they keep out dirt, leaves, and animals while letting in sunlight and offering a layer of insulation. They also can protect children from falls, while allowing proper egress from inside the basement in case of an emergency.

I wanted to tell you how perfect my Window Bubbles are for the purpose, and how well they solve the problem of excess water in the wells after heavy rains. It is relatively unusual these days to get a product that is well-made, reasonable in price, and lives up to all claims. Many thanks!Dr. Paul S., NY

Window well covers should be custom made of high quality material in order to keep out the heavy rains. When a heavy downpour occurs, the flimsy, one-size-fits-all covers will likely not give the protection needed. They are known to fit poorly, easily crack, and blow away in cases of heavy storm winds.

Windowbubble.com makes outstanding quality, custom window well covers which are sized to fit securely and protect basements from water leakage. Their guaranteed window well covers are made of 3/16″ Plexiglas, and are easy to install, maintenance free, and meet all safety requirements.
