Window Wells

WATERPROOFING DIVISION

Window Wells in DuPage County.

New wells, drains, liners, covers, and egress upgrades. We tie every well into the perimeter drain so it actually drains.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every visit, every time.

Window well installation

Galvanized steel or composite wells set in clean gravel base.

Window well drainage

Each well tied into the perimeter drain or a dedicated dry well.

Window well liners

Composite liner inserts for rusted or stained galvanized wells.

Egress windows

Code-compliant egress for finished basements — cut, frame, install.

Window well repair

Re-pin loose wells, replace failed caulking, restore the seal.

HOW IT WORKS

Our process — 4 steps.

  1. Site visit

    Measure each well, check the drain status and the foundation seal.

  2. Estimate

    Itemized within 48 hours. Egress permits priced separately.

  3. Install

    Most wells installed in half a day. Egress windows in 1–2 days.

  4. Cover + walkthrough

    Polycarbonate cover fitted; we walk you through the egress release.

WHY SUNSET FOR WINDOW WELLS

Three reasons it's worth the call.

Every well drains

We don't install wells without tying them into a drain — period.

Code-compliant egress

IL residential code met — useful for finished-basement permits.

Polycarbonate covers standard

Clear cover lets light through while keeping leaves and animals out.

HOW PRICING WORKS

No hidden math.

Pricing on DuPage properties typically depends on three things:

Property size
Square footage of turf, beds, and hardscape we touch.
Service frequency
One-time, weekly, every-other-week, or seasonal.
Add-ons
Aeration, overseeding, cleanup, and similar extras.

QUESTIONS · ANSWERED

Window Wells questions, answered.

How do I know if I really have a water problem or just humidity?

A real water issue shows up after heavy rain — water at the floor edges, dark stains on the walls, or seepage at the corners. Pure humidity is musty smell, occasional summer dampness, and clammy walls without visible water. We can tell which it is during a 30-minute site visit.

How long does the typical fix take?

Interior drain tile + sump installation: 2-3 days. Exterior membrane waterproofing: 4-7 days including perimeter excavation and landscape restoration. Sump pump swap-out: same-day. Foundation crack repair: 1 day per major crack.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

Interior drain tile + sump systems: 25-year transferable warranty. Exterior membranes: 10-15 years. Foundation crack repair: 5-10 years depending on the crack type. Drainage repairs: 5 years. We put the warranty in writing on the contract.

Will the work damage my landscape?

Interior work doesn't touch the yard at all. Exterior membrane work requires perimeter excavation — usually 3-5 feet out from the foundation. We hand-dig around irrigation, photograph plantings before we start, and restore the landscape on the same crew rotation. Plant-replacement guarantee covers any losses.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — for projects $5,000 and up. Most homeowners qualify for 12 or 24-month deferred-interest plans through our lending partner. Application takes 10 minutes online, approval is usually same-day.
