If you're thinking about remodeling or turning your basement into a living area, you must also think about installing egress windows and window wells. Window wells are essential as they encircle the egress exit window and act as a barrier of protection for your basement. Window wells are especially important to keep water from getting into below-grade windows and your basement.
Because egress windows are installed below grade level, outside elements such as water, debris, dirt, plants, vermin, and insects can easily collect around the egress window and dirt floor - which can be problematic for your basement. You also run the risk of indoor flooding and exterior water damage from rain, snow or ice. However, our window wells from Cellar Door Company will protect your home and keep these issues from accumulating around your window well and they will also invite more direct light into your basement.
