If you let the rust continue to weaken the well you are risking complete failure usually resulting in a basement flood and total damage to your bucks. In the case of a heavy downpour of rain (or sprinkler failure) the earth becomes saturated and extremely heavy – which is when the weakened window well will collapse with the pressure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/1610845793518-OJ3V8YA5V7NR87F0P80B/White+Well.jpg FAQs White Well https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/1610847009074-ZKPYXBN7DC784PA1VDOD/Bad+well+3.jpeg FAQs Window wells rust because of electrolysis (decomposition produced by an electric current.) This means that a window well is rusting because it is touching other metal in your home -usually rebar in the foundation (via either the window buck or the well’s attachment bolts.) The window well is the least noble metal so it is the first metal the electric current breaks down. From our experience, the more moisture in the ground the faster the decomposition when electrolysis is present. Please note that just because a window well is touching the window buck does not mean it will rust – the rebar inside the foundation must be also be touching the buck to produce the electric current. This video from Boman Kemp, the manufacturers of the wells we use, explains why your wells are rusting: https://youtu.be/BqOhNm4mIzk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/82994aa5-d3af-4d2a-93ae-0fb48763055d/IMG_4896.jpeg FAQs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/1610846640336-KMAYG6B8C0GYPYQ00KHC/Bad+well+2.jpg FAQs When this happens, the collapsed well creates a low spot to which water will flow – filling up your well until the window finally breaks from the pressure of the water and pours the water into your home. If the window does not break from the pressure, and depending on the state of your windows and how they were installed, the water will seep into your home. If you look closely at the above picture you can see the waterline about halfway up the window. Another consideration is that most home inspectors will flag rusting window wells. If you are planning on selling or renting your home in the near future, it is a good idea to solve this problem before it is holding up a sale. https://www.savagewindowwells.com/home daily 1.0 2025-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/1610835653493-XKSLR1Z1SA8SJBG03Z99/Facebook+well+image.jpg Home “They were fast and friendly, and did a wonderful job replacing our window wells! left everything looking great with no mess!“ – Kevin P.

Projection: Measure from the foundation to the farthest point out into the yard (usually 24″or 36″). Depth: Measure from the top of the well to the bottom window sill. We will quote your new well 10-12″ deeper than your window. * We will quote your new well wide enough to not touch the sides of your window buck (electrolysis). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/1613676862111-8CV0L5IT13W2NFB3YBX3/Top+Well+Quote.jpeg Get A Quote Looking Down into the Well https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/1613676862201-12C1VG7AJA2N9H1LPLAJ/Front+Well+Quote.jpg Get A Quote Front View of Well https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600361262f57da1e2e6d60a4/1613676862206-NPXH26QP7TR4S9GNG2WB/Overall+Landscape+Quote.jpeg Get A Quote Overall Landscape https://www.savagewindowwells.com/do-it-yourself daily 0.75 2025-08-25
