Photo Album: Old Basement Window is Upgraded to an Egress Window in Columbus, OH

  • This is what the smaller glass block window and corroding well looked like from the outside.
  • This is an interior view of the window, which did not let much light into the basement.
  • The area outside the window is excavated for the installation of the egress window and well.
  • The foundation wall was cut to make room for the larger window. The window's all-vinyl frame is rust resistant, and the double-pane glass is energy efficient.
  • As the well is installed, gravel is shoveled into the area after the vertical drain tile is installed.
  • This is what the window well looks like once it has been completely installed.
  • The soil is backfilled after the window well was installed.
  • A sturdy, clear cover is added for safety to this secure access point, and it will keep leaves, debris and rain out of the window well.

Album Description

After living in their house for four years, homeowners in Columbus, OH, started thinking about upgrading an older basement window. The small glass block window was not letting much light into the basement.

The owners contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about our company online, and we replaced this outdated window and well with a new egress window and well. Not only will more natural light enter the basement because of the window, it also serves as a secure emergency exit/access point to the basement.

The owners were excited to have this update completed at the 65-year-old house.
