egress the problem the solution the installation

A complete egress window well system is usually installed in a single day, year round. Standard Water Control makes sure the proper permits are filed with the appropriate government agencies so you project can move ahead with no surprises.

Standard never uses subcontractors, preferring to use their own employees trained for their specific job and supervised by experienced crew chiefs. Homeowners can be confident they’re getting the best service possible for their home.

All excavation is done by hand to minimize any damage to homeowner’s property and protect underground utilities. A special saw is used to cut the concrete block from the outside to minimize the mess on the inside. The block is then pounded out from the inside with a sledgehammer. The hole is trimmed with 2x6, green treated lumber; the window is secured, sealed with urethane caulk and Protecto Wrap tape to ensure a high effeciency seal and insulation packed around it. The window well is anchored to the wall and backfilled with gravel to provide drainage and help hold it in place. The outside of the window is trimmed in rough cut cedar ready for painting or staining by the homeowner.

Standard Water can incorporate an egress window well drain into your Standard Water Control drain tile system, if present. Optional window well covers are available as well.

This is a job you only want to do once. It’s important your contractor uses the finest tools and materials available. Your contractor should be licensed, bonded and insured. Your contractor should have impeccable credentials and a list of customers you can speak with. Standard Water Control has the credentials, experience and scores of satisfied customers who are happy to tell anyone about their excellent work.
