Egress Window Installed in Owatonna, MN

Challenge

James G. in Owatonna, MN wanted his basement to be a finished, livable area. He was aware that new building codes in Minnesota require these areas have an emergency egress - an egress window large enough to allow safe exit out of the space in case of an emergency. He did his research and learned that American Waterworks is a certified installer of RockWell egress window wells.

Solution

Our crew removed the original, non-compliant basement window and dug out a larger hole to ensure the new window would be up to code. Then, they installed the new, durable window well and sealed it into place. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. With our professional installation and 5 year warranty, James has peace of mind knowing his basement window is up to code and won't need replacing anytime soon.
