Egress window installation involves excavating and enlarging existing basement or ground-level window openings to meet safety code requirements for emergency escape and rescue. The process typically includes assessing the existing foundation or wall structure, digging a suitable space for the new window, installing a properly sized and rated window that provides sufficient exit width and height, and ensuring proper waterproofing and drainage around the opening. Evaluating requests for egress window installation requires attention to details such as the dimensions of the window opening, the type of wall or foundation material, local building codes and safety standards, and the accessibility of the area for excavation and installation work.
