CONSTRUCTION STEPS: |
|
- We cover your lawn with plywood to help prevent damage to your lawn. |
- We excavate for the window well and dig down to your
perimeter drainage and install a new drain. |
- We do our own cement cutting with a track mounted saw for straight
accurate cuts. All corners are finish cut with a cement chain saw
with no over cutting. |
- We install the egress window well. We backfill with 2-3 yards of pea stone,
instead of clay filled excavated soil. This extra step provides the best
drainage possible. |
|
- We install the egress window and trim the exterior to be maintenance free. |
|
- We install cover for well. |
|
- We haul away all concrete, dirt and debris. |

THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE TRYING TO DO-IT-YOURSELF! |
Installation requires a skilled licensed contractor who specializes
in basement foundation work and has the experience, knowledge,
tools and equipment to install egress windows.
Cutting into the foundation wall, especially masonry requires
expensive diamond cutting equipment and an experienced
operator in order to insure straight accurate cuts.
The foundation wall is the main support of the entire house and
whether you cut into a poured wall, a block wall, or a wood wall
foundation, it must be properly cut, supported and proper headers
installed to insure the integrity of the entire structure. |
