Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before
In Wausau, WI, the homeowner wanted to transform their unfinished basement into a comfortable living area but discovered that the existing windows were too small to meet egress code for safe emergency exit. The basement’s concrete foundation walls and high exterior grade made it difficult to add a properly sized window without specialized excavation and drainage planning. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist confirmed that installing a new egress window system would not only meet Wisconsin safety requirements but also bring more natural light and airflow into the basement.

After
Sure-Dry’s experienced installation crew excavated the foundation wall area, maintaining soil stability and protecting the existing waterproofing system. A clean, code-compliant opening was cut into the wall, and an insulated egress window was installed along with a reinforced, corrosion-resistant window well featuring an integrated drain connected to the home’s sump system. After sealing, backfilling, and regrading the exterior, the finished system provided both safety and functionality.
The homeowner now enjoys a bright, secure, and fully code-approved basement space that’s ready to be finished.

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.

Before
A homeowner in Minocqua, WI, wanted to improve the safety and functionality of their basement by adding a properly sized emergency exit. The existing basement did not have an adequate means of emergency escape and rescue in the planned living area, limiting how the space could safely be used. With Wisconsin homeowners increasingly looking to make better use of their basements, installing an egress window can provide an important combination of emergency access, natural light, and ventilation.
After
Sure-Dry installed a new Egress Window System to provide a dedicated emergency escape and rescue opening from the basement. The installation required creating an opening through the foundation wall, properly setting and sealing the window, and installing the exterior window well to provide clear access from the basement to the outdoors.
The completed egress window gives the homeowner a safer and brighter basement while providing an important emergency exit and improving the overall functionality of the space.

Before
In Waupaca, WI, the homeowner wanted to finish the basement into a safe and livable space but had only small, non-compliant windows that offered no emergency escape route or natural light. The foundation wall suitable for installation was partially below grade with dense soil conditions, requiring careful excavation and drainage planning to prevent future water issues. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist evaluated the structure and confirmed that a full egress window installation was necessary to meet Wisconsin building code and ensure basement safety.

After
Sure-Dry’s certified crew excavated the area outside the foundation and used precision-cutting methods to create a clean opening for the new egress system. A durable, insulated egress window was installed along with a reinforced, rust-resistant window well featuring proper drainage tied into the home’s waterproofing system. After backfilling and restoring the exterior grade, the new window provided both a compliant emergency exit and significantly more daylight and ventilation.
The homeowner was pleased to have a safe, code-approved basement that now feels open, bright, and ready for finishing.

Before

A homeowner in Waupaca, WI wanted to improve the safety and usability of their basement by installing an egress window. The existing basement had limited natural light and did not have a code-compliant emergency escape opening, making it less functional as living space and limiting future finishing options. An egress window not only provides a safe emergency exit but also transforms a dark basement into a brighter, more inviting area.

After

Sure-Dry installed a new Egress Window by carefully excavating outside the foundation, cutting a precise opening through the concrete wall, and installing a new window, window well, and drainage system. The finished installation provides a code-compliant emergency escape route while allowing abundant natural light and fresh air into the basement. The homeowner now has a safer, brighter, and more functional basement with added value and peace of mind.
