Where Are Egress Windows Required?

How Do We Install An Egress Window?
Our egress window installation process is very simple.
1. First, we dig a hole outside your foundation wall.
2. Second, we cut a hole in your foundation wall that matches the window size.
3. Third, we install a window with at least 5.7 sq ft of space and no higher than 44 inches from the floor.
4. Fourth, we install a window well that provides space for the window to open and allows first responders to enter your basement. We also install a drain pipe to ensure your well doesn’t pool with water.

Egress Windows FAQs

Is it worth it to install egress windows?
Yes. Egress windows provide access, escape, lighting, and ventilation.

Do egress windows leak?
If installed improperly or without a drainage system inside the well, your egress window may leak.

How long does it usually take to install an egress window?
For a brand new window with a new cut in the foundation, it is a two day process. If we are replacing an existing window, it is a one day process.

Can this installation be done in the winter?
Yes. The ground might be harder to dig through because of the frost, but we still get it done.
