Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before:
A homeowner in Antigo, WI needed to convert an existing basement room into a legal bedroom, but the space lacked a code-compliant egress opening. The original basement wall had only a small, older-style window that did not meet Wisconsin egress requirements for minimum opening size, sill height, or emergency escape clearance. Soil conditions around the home—typical of Langlade County’s sandy-loam base—had also allowed moisture to collect against the foundation, making the existing window well inefficient and undersized.

After:
A new, fully code-compliant egress window system was installed by cutting a precise opening through the foundation wall, setting a new window unit sized for proper emergency escape dimensions, and integrating a durable window well with adequate drainage stone. The installation restored structural integrity at the cutout, ensured proper grading and water management around the new well, and brought the basement room up to legal bedroom standards.
The homeowners now have a safe, compliant, and naturally brighter basement bedroom ready for everyday use.

Before:
A homeowner in Pickett, WI, contacted Sure-Dry to improve the exterior well of their existing egress window. The original window well was shallow and deteriorating, allowing water and debris to collect against the foundation. Over time, the setup had become unsightly and less effective at keeping the window area clean and dry. The homeowner wanted a durable upgrade that would protect the foundation and maintain proper drainage around their egress window.

After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team replaced the old well with a new, heavy-duty egress window well system designed for long-term performance and improved water management. The new well was properly graded, fitted with clean drainage stone, and finished with a clear cover to prevent rainwater, leaves, and debris from collecting inside. The upgraded system complemented the existing egress window while enhancing both function and appearance.

The homeowner was pleased with the clean, finished look and appreciated the added protection the new well provided for their basement and foundation.

Before:
A homeowner in New London, WI, wanted to install an egress window to make their basement safer and more comfortable for everyday use. The existing basement windows were small, allowing very little natural light, and did not meet safety code for emergency exit. The homeowner wanted a reliable solution that would improve both the appearance and functionality of their basement while maintaining proper drainage around the foundation.

After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the area outside the foundation and installed a complete egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable well, and a clear protective cover to keep out debris and moisture. Drainage stone was added at the base of the well to direct water away from the foundation and ensure long-term protection. The new window dramatically increased natural light, improved ventilation, and provided a safe emergency exit that meets modern code standards.

The homeowner was thrilled with the results, noting how the brighter, safer basement now feels like a true extension of their home.
