Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Green Bay, WI, wanted to install two egress windows in their basement to meet safety code requirements and add more natural light to the space. The existing basement windows were small, outdated, and did not provide a safe emergency exit. With plans to convert the basement into living space, the homeowner wanted a durable, code-compliant solution that would enhance both safety and comfort while improving the home’s overall value.

After:
Sure-Dry’s team excavated two areas outside the foundation and installed dual egress window systems, each featuring a large, code-compliant window, a durable window well, and a clear cover to prevent debris and water intrusion. Drainage stone was placed at the base of each well to ensure proper water flow and long-term protection for the foundation. The new windows significantly increased natural light, improved ventilation, and provided two safe, accessible emergency exits that meet all building code standards.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter, safer, and more inviting the basement now feels — and with confidence knowing the space is fully compliant for everyday use.
