Egress Window Required to Meet Safety Code Installed in Schofield, WI

Before
In Schofield, WI, the homeowners wanted to convert their basement into a safe and livable space but were limited by small, non-compliant windows that did not meet egress code. The foundation was poured concrete, and the proposed installation wall was located near existing utilities and drainage piping, requiring precise excavation and cutting to avoid disruption. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist determined that installing a properly sized egress window would create a safe emergency exit, improve lighting, and ensure compliance with Wisconsin building code.

After
Sure-Dry’s installation crew began by carefully excavating the exterior area beside the foundation, protecting nearby utilities and ensuring stable soil retention. A clean, code-compliant opening was cut into the wall, and a thermally efficient egress window was installed with a reinforced window well featuring an integrated ladder and drain line. The drain was tied into the home’s waterproofing system to prevent water buildup, and the surrounding area was backfilled and graded for long-term stability and drainage.
The homeowners were pleased to have a brighter, safer basement that meets all egress code requirements and is now ready for finishing.
