What To Do When A Window Well Is Flooded
When a window well is flooded, it is important to take action as soon as possible in order to protect the health and safety of those living inside the home. The first step is to locate and address the source of the water. This may be due to heavy rainfall or snowmelt that has caused the well to fill up quickly. If this is the case, it is best to wait until the water level stabilizes naturally.
However, if there is an underlying problem with your window well that is causing it to fill up with standing water, then you need to fix the problem right away. This might include clearing any debris or dirt that has built up in the well and checking for any cracks or damage to the lining which may be causing leaks. It’s also important to make sure that your window well cover is securely in place so that rainwater can’t get in.
In some cases, it may be necessary to call a professional who can assess your window well and make any necessary repairs. This may include installing a sump pump system which will prevent water from building up in the soil around the foundation.
