Egress Window Installers

Current safety codes require all newly built homes to have egress window wells. Some older homes are missing these due to a grandfather clause, but we highly recommend installing window wells for the safety of everyone in your home.

Why Do You Need Egress Window Wells?

Aside from the fact that it is required by law to have them in Virginia and Maryland, there is another huge benefit to egress window well installation: safety.

You may think your home is resistant to fires, but a house fire can happen to anyone. Egress window wells allow you and your loved ones to safely exit your home in an emergency. Additionally, egress window wells allow firefighters into your home when needed.

In addition to safety concerns, egress windows allow natural light and fresh air into your home, providing ventilation. Window wells also protect your basement from moisture intrusion.

Homes without window wells do not have adequate drainage for moisture so the water pools around the basement, leading to cracks, mold and mildew, and water damage.
