Why Install an Egress Window in Your Basement?
Installing an egress window in your basement boosts safety, adds natural light, and improves ventilation, transforming your space into a more livable and comfortable area. It also increases your home’s value, ensures compliance with building codes, and creates opportunities for extra living or rental space. Whether for safety or to enhance your home’s appeal, an egress window is a smart investment that pays off in functionality and peace of mind.

Increased Home Value: Egress windows add functionality and appeal, making your home more attractive to buyers.
Legal Living Space: Turn your basement into a bedroom, office, or recreation room, officially expanding your usable square footage.
Meets Building Codes: Installing an egress window ensures that your basement meets local safety and building code requirements, especially if you're converting it into a habitable space.
Prevents Fines: Ensuring compliance with egress window regulations help you avoid potential fines for non-compliance, espeically if you decide to sell or rent the space in the future.
Rental Income If you plan to rent out your basement as an independent living space (e.g., a basement apratment or in-law suite), an egress window is often a legal requirement. Installing one opens the possibility of generating rental income, which can be a great way to maximize the return on your property.

Waterproofing & Egress
Pairing your basement waterproofing project with egress installation can save you significant time, money and hassle. It also ensures a more seamless, efficient transformation of your basement all at once.
Safety
Incorporating an egress window into your waterproofing plan not only prepares your basement for future finishing but also helps you meet building codes while providing natural light, better ventilation, and a safer emergency exit.
Drainage
A critical consideration during egress window installation is moisture prevention. Proper drainage systems installed during waterproofing prevent surface water from pooling and leaking into your basement – to maintain a dry, functional, and comfortable living space.
Convenience
With the enhanced protection against moisture, the improved safety and aesthetics that an egress window or basement walkout offers, you’ll create a brighter, more inviting, and better-protected space.

We hired Worthington for basement waterproofing, and they exceeded our expectations. From the start, their team was professional and thorough. They explained the entire process clearly and answered all our questions, making us feel confident in our choice. The crew executed the project with precision and care, maintaining a clean workspace throughout. The end result is impressive, and we’re thrilled with the quality of work. Only a day after completion, tropical storm Debby came through and caused major flooding in our area. This put their work to a test and they passed with flying colors -- a dry basement and a properly functioning sump pump. Highly recommend Worthington for anyone needing reliable waterproofing services.
Rich G. 11/2022
We had numerous issues with water in our basement in the 5 years we owned our home, it was not an easy fix and we received numerous ideas and quotes. The rep from Worthington came out and was amazing, did not try and up sell us, and identified and fixed every problem. Worthington was not the cheapest firm we spoke with but would you really want the guy with the lowest price for a job like this? We would recommend this company emphatically.
Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of local residents get the solutions needed to keep their families healthy and comfortable. Whatever your project, we are certain that you will be fully satisfied too!
