Egress Window Installation in Woodruff, WI
Before A homeowner in Woodruff, WI contacted Sure-Dry after realizing their finished basement bedroom did not have a code-compliant emergency exit. The existing window opening was undersized and positioned too high to meet Wisconsin egress requirements, creating both a safety concern and limiting the usability of the space. During the inspection, our team measured the opening dimensions and evaluated exterior grading to determine proper well placement and drainage control.
After Our crew carefully excavated the exterior foundation wall and installed a properly sized Egress Window System designed to meet building code requirements for safe emergency escape and rescue access. A durable window well with integrated drainage was installed to prevent water accumulation and protect against basement water intrusion during heavy rain or snowmelt. The new installation improves natural light, ventilation, and safety while increasing the functional living space in the home.
