Photo Album: Egress Window installation in Joppa, MD

When you want to finish the basement, code requires that you have a way to get out in case of fire.  In many basements, there are no stairwells or exit doors, so an Egress Window must be installed.  On this home, we used the superior Rockwell window well system.  Rockwell is far superior to other window wells because is does not rust or leak through the side or walls.  It also comes with a 500lb capacity cover. To ensure that the egress never leaks into the basement, a WellDuct window well drain is installed to drain any water that might build up in the well.  Rockwell Egress Wells come with a 20-year guarantee against water seepage, but it's best features are they look great and let in lots of light.
