A homeowner had recently finished their basement to create additional living space for their family. However, during regular use, they realized their children were spending a significant amount of time in the basement ,playing, studying, and relaxing.
The concern quickly became clear: the space did not include an egress window. Without a proper emergency exit, the basement did not meet modern safety standards and posed a potential risk in the event of a fire or emergency.
Wanting peace of mind, the homeowner contacted Jason Basement Waterproofing to install a code-compliant egress window , After speaking with Katie in the office and After project manager Tim evaluating the space, the team developed a plan to safely add a new egress system while preserving the integrity of the home’s foundation.
The installation process included:
• Excavating the exterior area around the foundation wall
• Carefully cutting through the concrete foundation
• Installing a properly sized egress window
• Adding a sump pump pump system to prevent water buildup
• Securing a durable window well with proper grading
• Sealing and waterproofing the installation...
The Results
The project delivered both safety and functionality:
• The basement now has a safe emergency exit
• The space meets egress code requirements
• Natural light significantly improved the basement environment
• The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their children are safer
