Window wells contain a drainage system that either redirects the water downhill away from your foundation or connects to your home’s interior drainage system. It’s important to check every few months to ensure your window well’s drainage is clear and working properly to avoid water damage to your foundation and basement.

Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains. 

Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.

Though frost-free faucets are designed to withstand winter weather in most climates, it’s still a good idea to cover your faucets with an insulated cap during periods of extreme cold. Even then, you should always disconnect hoses and drain the faucet before temperatures dip below freezing. Frost-free faucets will not work correctly if a hose is attached because the hose can contain trapped water.

Professionals use augers, hydrojetting equipment, and cameras for precise clearing and inspection.
