Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before The homeowner in Mayville, WI was preparing for a basement remodel and needed to address the existing window before finishing the space. The current basement window did not provide the properly sized emergency escape and rescue opening needed for the planned finished living area. Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist determined that installing a dedicated Egress Window System would provide a safer, more functional basement while bringing additional natural light and ventilation into the remodeled space.
After Sure-Dry installed the Egress Window System ahead of the basement remodel. The installation included creating the properly sized foundation opening and installing the new window and exterior window well to provide safe emergency access from the basement. Completing the egress installation before the finishing work allowed it to integrate cleanly with the homeowner’s remodeling plans while adding considerably more natural light to the lower level. The basement is now safer, brighter, and ready for the next phase of the remodel.

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.

Before

This New London, WI homeowner wanted to improve their basement with a properly installed egress window. The existing basement had limited natural light and did not provide the larger window opening and exterior access that an egress system can offer.

Adding an egress window involves much more than simply replacing an existing basement window. A new opening must be carefully created through the foundation wall, and the window and exterior well need to be installed with proper attention to drainage and protection from Wisconsin's rain, snow and freeze-thaw conditions.

After

Sure-Dry installed a complete egress window system, creating a significantly larger opening that allows more natural light into the basement while providing an emergency exit from the space.

Our crew carefully cut the new foundation opening and installed the window and exterior well as a complete system. Proper installation around the opening helps protect the basement from water intrusion while creating a brighter, more usable environment inside.

The finished egress window provides this New London home with an important basement improvement that combines natural light, accessibility and added functionality.

Before:
A homeowner in Greenville, WI was preparing to remodel their basement but first needed to bring the space up to current safety and egress requirements. The existing basement window was undersized and did not meet escape or rescue code standards. Limited natural light made the basement feel confined, and ventilation was inadequate for a future living space.
After:
Sure-Dry installed a fully code-compliant egress window system by enlarging the wall opening, installing a properly supported window well, and integrating drainage to prevent water buildup. The upgraded window now provides safe emergency exit capability, more natural light, and improved airflow—essential steps before finishing the basement.
