Egress Window Installation Completed in Manitowoc, WI
Before:
A homeowner in Manitowoc, WI wanted to improve safety and natural light in their partially finished basement. The existing window was too small to meet egress requirements and did little to brighten the space. Limited light, restricted ventilation, and code concerns made the basement feel confined and prevented the homeowner from fully utilizing the space.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a code-compliant egress window with a properly sized well and drainage system, ensuring safe emergency exit capability and significantly improving natural light within the basement. The upgraded opening increased ventilation, enhanced usability, and added value to the home, providing a brighter and safer environment for future finishing plans.
The basement now feels more open, comfortable, and ready for expanded living space.
