| I have drains in the window wells of out basement (2). I don't know where they go. There are no signs of an entire system that comes out some where. |

| They should connect to weepers around the foundation that, in turn, tie into a municipal drain, a sump in your basement or some exterior drainage system on your property. It all depends on local regulations and the peculiarities of your home and property. |
