Egress Windows for Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse Homes
An egress window does more than bring natural light into your basement. It provides a safe emergency exit, increases your home's value, and helps transform a dark basement into a brighter, more functional living space. Whether you're finishing your basement or upgrading your existing space, an egress window is a valuable investment in both safety and comfort.
Keep your family safe with a complete egress system from Everdry Waterproofing.
Why Add an Egress Window to Your Basement?
Most basements have small windows set high in the wall, or no windows at all. If a fire or other emergency blocks the stairs, that leaves no safe way out. An egress window is large enough for your family to climb out and for emergency responders to get in.
Building codes generally require an emergency escape opening in any basement bedroom, so an egress window is often a key step when you finish a basement or add a bedroom. It also brings in daylight and fresh air, which makes the space feel larger and more comfortable to spend time in.
What's Included?
Every complete egress system from Everdry Waterproofing includes:
Finished egress well
Corner step ladder
Tilt N Turn egress window
Safe View cover
A Complete Egress System, Not Just a Window
The finished egress well holds back the soil outside your window and gives the opening a clean, stone-look surround. The corner step ladder lets anyone climb out quickly. The Tilt N Turn window tilts in for fresh air or swings fully open for an easy exit, and the clear Safe View cover helps keep rain, snow and debris out of the well while still letting light in.
As basement waterproofing specialists, we know how important it is to keep water out of your basement. Every egress project starts with a free inspection, so we can look at your space, talk through your plans and answer your questions before any work begins.

An egress window is a basement window large enough to serve as an emergency exit. It is installed with a well and a ladder outside, so someone inside the basement can open the window and climb out.
