Denver Window Well Replacement
At Denver Window Wells, we specialize in professional window well replacement services throughout the Denver area, helping homeowners fix damaged, outdated, or non-compliant window wells that put basements at risk. Whether your current well is rusted, leaking, collapsed, or simply too small to meet modern safety standards, we replace it with durable, code-compliant solutions that restore protection, improve aesthetics, and keep your egress window functional year-round.
Signs You Need Window Well Replacement
Many Denver homes face window well issues due to Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles, soil movement, heavy snowmelt, and age-related wear. Common indicators it’s time for replacement include:
- Visible rust, dents, or corrosion on metal wells that weaken structural integrity.
- Cracks, bowing, or full collapse allowing soil and water to enter the basement.
- Water pooling or seepage during rain/snow, leading to dampness, mold, or foundation damage.
- Insufficient size or projection, failing to meet IRC requirements for emergency escape (e.g., minimum 6-inch projection from window, adequate clear area).
- Poor aesthetics or outdated design that detracts from curb appeal.
- Inadequate drainage or no cover, causing debris buildup and overflow risks.
Ignoring these problems can turn a minor issue into major water damage or safety hazards, especially in older homes common across Denver neighborhoods.
Our Window Well Replacement Process
We make window well replacement in Denver efficient, clean, and minimally invasive:
- Initial Assessment — We visit your home to inspect the existing well, measure dimensions, check foundation condition, evaluate drainage, and discuss your goals (e.g., better light, added safety, or improved landscaping).
- Custom Solution Recommendation — Recommend the best replacement option based on your needs and budget: Boman Kemp galvanized steel, Rockwell composite stone-look, custom timber, or other durable materials.
- Safe Removal — Carefully excavate and remove the old well, protecting landscaping and avoiding damage to the foundation or window.
- Preparation and Installation — Level the base, add gravel for drainage, install the new well securely (bolted or anchored properly), ensure proper projection and backfill, and integrate with your egress window, cover, grate, or sump pump if needed.
- Final Testing and Cleanup — Verify the well holds soil without shifting, test for water flow if drainage is involved, restore grading/landscaping, and leave the area tidy.
- Post-Install Support — Provide care instructions, warranty details, and follow-up if any adjustments are required.
Most replacements take 1–2 days, with little disruption to daily life.
