Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Replacing a Basement Window and Installing a Window Well in New Baden, IL
A homeowner wanted to replace the basement window in New Baden, IL, and install a well. To accomplish this, an Egress Window was first installed. This basement window is large enough to climb out of in case of an emergency. It will also allow more natural light to enter the basement. Next, a Rockwell Window Well was installed outside the Egress Window. The built-in steps of this system allow for an easy exit, and it features an airtight well cover that will keep water and debris out of the well. These systems will improve the safety and enjoyment of the basement and restore peace of mind for years to come!
