Egress Window Well

 

Increase Your Property’s Value

E & M Waterproofing offers complete egress window systems for use in below-grade remodeling or new construction. These window systems provide natural light, ventilation, and a means of egress or exit to any basement. Research has shown that it is 30% less expensive to build down when looking to add livable space to your home versus building up or out. Proper basement egress is crucial to meeting safety code requirements and can greatly affect the resale value of your home. In New York, failure to provide proper egress can result in an inability to list below-grade rooms as living space. Make a basement egress window a part of your next basement remodel or basement waterproofing job with E & M Waterproofing.

New York State Law:

Building Code IRC Section R310.1 mandates that “basements with habitable space and every sleeping room shall have at least one openable emergency
escape and rescue window.” This has changed the way people look at basements in a significant way because most basements were not built to comply with this regulation.
