Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Rochester Hills, MI Egress Window & Window Well Installation
This Rochester Hills, Michigan homeowner contacted HomeSpec about installing an egress window, among other things like basement waterproofing. Egress windows are necessary when there's bedrooms in the basement because they serve not only as sources of bright natural light, but also as an emergency escape.
HomeSpec's egress windows are always installed with proper drainage to prevent water from pooling and leaking into the basement. They are also installed with enclosed window wells to keep out debris, pests, and moisture. HomeSpec also installed an WaterGuard Interior Drainage System with a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our Foamax Wall Panels in the basement to stop water intrusion.
Egress Window From the Inside
The window is a great source of natural light for the basement.
After Enclosure Installation
The clear top still allows light in, but it keeps out pests, debris, and water.
Egress Window Drainage
It's important that the window well has adequate drainage.
Before Egress Window Installation
Before there was a window, there was only some landscaping here.
No Water Intrusion
It's imperative that the window is airtight and installed correctly so water does not leak into the basement.
