Depth: An egress window well has to be dug to at least to the depth of the egress window you will be installing at the bottom — keep in mind that wells deeper than 44” (3.75 feet) also require attached stairs or ladder.
Length and width: There must be at least 9 square feet to work with at the bottom of any egress window well – this provides enough clearance for the window to open, with room to spare for either outgoing occupants or incoming emergency personnel.
We’ll ensure your installation meets or exceeds these requirements for safety and code compliance.
Retrofitting a foundation for window wells is without a doubt pretty involved, and by nature a little dirty. First there is the matter of excavating the space for the well; then there is the matter of carefully cutting the window opening into the foundation itself. Before calling it a day, your installer will also need to make certain the drainage is connected properly, a window well liner is in place, and the installed well is sealed and clean.
But that’s just it — the disruption usually fits into a single day, allowing you to return to your routine while enjoying the benefits an egress window system adds to your home.
Not if installed correctly! Our professional installers take every precaution to protect your foundation during installation.

Absolutely. We offer child and pet-safe window well covers designed to prevent accidental falls while still allowing easy exit in an emergency.
Regularly clear debris from the well and inspect the ladder for any damage. For most well materials, a simple hose-down is sufficient for cleaning. To learn more, visit our blog on the ins and outs of window well maintenance.
We utilize a combination of drainage systems, sealant, and waterproof membranes to prevent water from pooling in your well and potentially entering your basement. A secure window well cover and proper grading of the soil away from the home are also instrumental in keeping a window well dry.
