Egress Windows Before & After Photos

Before
In Chilton, WI, the homeowners wanted to add a basement egress window to make their lower level safe and code-compliant for future living space. However, the available wall area for installation was located close to the home’s sump pump system and electrical panel. These tight clearances required precise planning to ensure that no part of the foundation cutting or excavation would interfere with the mechanical systems or compromise waterproofing performance. Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist carefully assessed the utilities and foundation layout to determine an ideal egress window location that met code while preserving system functionality.

After
Sure-Dry’s experienced installation team excavated the exterior wall section with precision, taking extra precautions to protect the nearby sump discharge lines and electrical conduits. The crew cut the foundation opening using dust-controlled methods, installed a code-compliant insulated egress window, and constructed a reinforced well with proper drainage tied into the existing sump system. All components were sealed and graded to prevent moisture intrusion, ensuring that both the egress and the home’s pump system operated seamlessly.
The homeowner gained a safe, bright, and fully compliant basement exit—completed with careful workmanship that maintained the integrity of their essential home systems.

Before:
A homeowner in Hilbert, WI, wanted to install an egress window to bring more natural light into their basement and meet safety code requirements for a planned living space. The existing basement windows were small and inefficient, providing little light or ventilation and no emergency exit. The homeowner wanted a professional solution that would improve both the safety and comfort of their home.

After:
Sure-Dry’s installation team excavated the exterior area and installed a new egress window system, including a large, code-compliant window, a durable window well, and a clear cover to keep out water and debris. Drainage stone was added at the base of the well to ensure proper water management and long-term performance. The new installation provided a bright, open basement with improved airflow and a safe emergency exit that meets all modern building codes.

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation, noting how much brighter and more inviting the basement now feels — and with confidence knowing the new system provides both safety and durability.

Before
In Plymouth, WI, the homeowner wanted to convert their basement into a functional living area but the existing windows were too small to meet Wisconsin’s egress code requirements. The only viable wall for installation was on the home’s north side, where compacted soil and nearby landscaping required careful excavation planning. During the inspection, Sure-Dry’s System Design Specialist confirmed that an egress window installation would provide the necessary emergency exit, natural light, and ventilation for a safe, comfortable basement.

After
Sure-Dry’s experienced crew excavated the area along the foundation, protecting nearby landscape features while cutting a clean, code-sized opening in the concrete wall. A durable, insulated egress window was installed along with a reinforced, rust-resistant window well equipped with a built-in ladder and an integrated drain system. The area was sealed, backfilled, and graded to direct surface water away from the foundation.
The homeowner now enjoys a bright, safe, and fully code-compliant basement space ready for future finishing.

In Wrightstown, WI, these homeowners had a goal: turn their dark, underused basement into a safe, livable space—and increase their home's property value in the process. The challenge? Their basement didn’t meet building code requirements due to the lack of a proper egress window.

That’s where Sure-Dry came in.

To solve both the safety and resale concerns, our team installed a Rockwell Premier Series Egress Window System, known for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and code-compliance.

Why This Wrightstown Home Needed an Egress Window

Before installation, the basement had:

• A small, outdated window that didn’t allow for safe escape

• Minimal natural light

• No potential for use as a legal bedroom or finished living area

After installation, the space gained:

• A code-compliant emergency exit with a built-in ladder

• A durable, stone-look composite window well

• A clear cover to protect from moisture, debris, and pests

• A flood of natural light that transformed the look and feel of the space

The Result: A Basement That Adds Value

Installing a basement egress window in Wrightstown, WI not only brought this home up to code, but also increased its usable square footage and long-term market appeal. Homes with finished, legal basement bedrooms or family rooms are more attractive to buyers—and this project gave the homeowners the flexibility to use the space however they wanted.
