Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner was in the process of remodeling their basement for additional living space but was dealing with active water intrusion along the foundation walls during heavy rain. Moisture concerns threatened the remodel plans and raised concerns about long-term durability and basement usability. In addition, the basement lacked proper emergency escape options, limiting safety and preventing full code compliance for finished living areas.
Inspection confirmed the need for a permanent interior water management system along with properly sized emergency escape openings.

After
Sure-Dry installed a full interior basement waterproofing system to manage groundwater and keep the remodeled basement dry and protected. To support the new living space layout, two properly sized RockWell Egress Window systems with covers were installed, providing safe emergency exits and increased natural light. Each installation was completed with precise foundation cutting and window well placement to integrate cleanly with the finished basement design.
The basement is now dry, code-compliant, and fully functional for finished living space.

Before

The homeowner in Marinette, WI wanted to make their basement brighter, safer, and more functional by adding an egress window. The existing basement had limited natural light and lacked a code-compliant emergency escape opening, making it less inviting and restricting future use of the space. During our inspection, we determined the foundation wall was an excellent candidate for an egress window installation. For many Wisconsin homeowners, adding an egress window is one of the best ways to improve both the safety and value of a home while preparing a basement for additional living space.

After

Our crew completed the transformation by carefully excavating outside the foundation, precision-cutting the concrete wall, and installing a new Egress Window System with a properly sized window well—all in just one day. The new window floods the basement with natural light, provides a safe emergency exit, and creates a more open, comfortable feel. Once the installation was complete, the homeowner had a basement that was not only brighter and more inviting but also better suited for future finishing projects while meeting modern safety standards.

Before:
A homeowner in Appleton, WI, wanted to transform their dark basement into a bright, livable space that met all safety code requirements. The existing windows were small and outdated, providing minimal natural light and no safe way to exit in an emergency. The homeowner wanted a clean, professional installation that would improve both the look and safety of their basement while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a complete egress window system, featuring a large, code-compliant window, a strong window well, and a clear cover to prevent water and debris buildup. The crew added drainage stone at the base of the well to ensure proper water management and long-term durability. The finished installation flooded the basement with natural light, improved airflow, and provided a safe, accessible emergency exit.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter and more comfortable their basement feels now that it’s code-compliant and ready for everyday use.

The basement of this home in Menominee, MI was dark, outdated, and not up to code for use as a living space. With an undersized, rusted window and no safe emergency exit, the homeowners couldn’t use the space for a bedroom or family area—and little natural light made it feel cold and uninviting.

To make their basement safer and more functional, Sure-Dry installed a Rockwell Egress Window System.

This high-performance egress solution features a beautiful stone-look window well made from durable, UV-stable composite material. A built-in ladder provides a safe escape route in case of emergency, while the polycarbonate well cover protects against water and debris.

By allowing natural light to pour in, this egress window transforms a previously unusable basement into a bright, code-compliant living space.

Designed for safety, style, and durability, the Rockwell system is a smart investment that adds long-term value to the home. With its resistance to frost, rust, and rot, it delivers peace of mind in all seasons.
