Safe and Bright: Egress Window Installation in Tonawanda

Monday, November 3rd, 2025 by Maya Bellus

Challenge

A Tonawanda homeowner needed a safe, code-compliant exit from their basement. The existing space had no secondary way out in case of emergency — a common concern for older homes. They wanted a solution that met safety requirements while also improving light and ventilation.

Solution

Our team at Total Basement Finishing of WNY installed a new egress window system that provides both safety and function. The project involved cutting through the foundation wall, installing a durable window well with proper drainage, and adding an energy-efficient window to allow fresh air and natural light into the basement. The result — a bright, secure, and fully code-compliant upgrade that gives the homeowner peace of mind.

A close-up view of the inside of the egress window well, showing the clean, professional installation. You can see the built-in ladder for easy access, proper drainage at the base, and the bright window that brings natural light into the basement - all designed to meet safety and building code standards.

This image shows the finished egress window with the cover installed. The clear, durable cover keeps out rain, leaves, and debris while still allowing sunlight to pass through. It gives the project a neat, finished appearance from the outside and ensures long-lasting protection for the window well below.
