After being overwhelmed with failures in the conventional corrugated steel wells, somewhere in the 31% range in the first 6 months of installed product; I decided there needed to be a change. A couple of specific failures haunted everyone. First, the rusting problem became a huge issue when housing switched over to a Ufer ground system. “What is a 'Ufer' ground?” This is a common question. A “Ufer” ground is slang for what the National Electrical Code (NEC) addresses as a concrete-encased grounding electrode. The term “Ufer” does not appear in the Code, but many in the industry use it. We as an industry experienced unprecedented failures.


Some area wells rust in as little as a couple months. Requiring a grounding test to validate your warranty. Without it, you essentially have no warranty on your areawells. Also, as the housing industry was very hot for so long, the builders tried to speed up build times with multiple trades overlapping in tasks on the same job site. Back filling the foundation is a hot priority, as most trades stack up behind this step. Leading to put pressure on the dirt moving companies to move quickly regardless of weather sometimes. This affected the corrugated steel wells to levels not seen before. Everyone has many issues with the wells rusting, deforming, denting, and simply destroyed during the building process.

We have addressed multiple issues all at once; providing a much stronger, more durable, product, all while looking much cleaner, and an actual permanent ladder that no steel area well can match!! Multiple patents protect us from being copied by garbage products, we are proudly made by Americans, in America!!! Quality that exceeds everyone, and every other option.


The design started almost 12 years ago, when the housing market was in shambles. Through multiple redesigns; and a firm goal of besting all designs, regardless of base material choice.  I think we have even outdone ourselves with Life Well. We have thought of everything from a modular design that is easy to repair if or when a disaster strikes, and to ease of handling for workers. No more razor sharp corners to cut you or your valued laborers. No more two-man carries over horrible uneven terrain. No more powder actuated guns to hurt wrists.
