Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before
In Chilton, WI, the homeowners wanted to add a basement egress window to make their lower level safe and code-compliant for future living space. However, the available wall area for installation was located close to the home’s sump pump system and electrical panel. These tight clearances required precise planning to ensure that no part of the foundation cutting or excavation would interfere with the mechanical systems or compromise waterproofing performance. Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist carefully assessed the utilities and foundation layout to determine an ideal egress window location that met code while preserving system functionality.

After
Sure-Dry’s experienced installation team excavated the exterior wall section with precision, taking extra precautions to protect the nearby sump discharge lines and electrical conduits. The crew cut the foundation opening using dust-controlled methods, installed a code-compliant insulated egress window, and constructed a reinforced well with proper drainage tied into the existing sump system. All components were sealed and graded to prevent moisture intrusion, ensuring that both the egress and the home’s pump system operated seamlessly.
The homeowner gained a safe, bright, and fully compliant basement exit—completed with careful workmanship that maintained the integrity of their essential home systems.

Before:
A homeowner in Hilbert, WI, wanted to install an egress window to bring more natural light into their basement and meet safety code requirements for a planned living space. The existing basement windows were small and inefficient, providing little light or ventilation and no emergency exit. The homeowner wanted a professional solution that would improve both the safety and comfort of their home.

After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the exterior area and installed a new egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable window well, and a clear cover to keep out water and debris. Drainage stone was added at the base of the well to ensure proper water management and long-term performance. The new installation provided a bright, open basement with improved airflow and a safe emergency exit that meets all modern building codes.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter and more inviting the basement now feels — and with confidence knowing the new system provides both safety and durability.

Before:

A homeowner in Kaukauna, WI wanted to improve the safety and functionality of their basement by installing an egress window. Without a properly sized emergency escape opening, basement spaces can have limited accessibility during an emergency. Smaller basement windows also restrict the amount of natural light entering the space, making it feel darker and less inviting.

After:

Sure-Dry installed a new egress window and window well, providing an emergency escape route while allowing significantly more natural light into the basement. The installation involved preparing the foundation opening, securing and sealing the new window, and installing an exterior window well with appropriate drainage considerations.

The completed project provides a brighter, more functional basement with improved emergency access. A properly sized and installed egress window can also help homeowners meet applicable building code requirements for basement bedrooms.
