Egress Windows Case Studies: Egress Window Installed to Provide Safe Basement Exit in Wausau, WI

Challenge

These homeowners in Wausau, WI were looking to have an egress window installed in their 1954 basement. They were currently using the area as a bar and entertainment area and wanted more light, and a safe way out in case of a fire. They are not planning to move anytime soon and wanted to make the space more enjoyable and safer for them as well their 10-year-old son. They had received several other estimates and selected Sure-Dry based on cost and reputation.  When choosing a company to install an egress, they said it was important to them that it was done right the first time, and that the company doing the work is licensed and insured.

Solution

Sure-Dry installed our DuraWell Egress Window Well System in their basement. DuraWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells, while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress, that includes a built-in ladder with 12" steps to promote safe and easy emergency exit. Our egress window also comes with a window well cover that will allow light to come in while keeping leaves and other debris out. 

The homeowners were thrilled with the results and feel much safer being in their basement.
