- Window Well Installation – Especially important when performing wall cut outs below the ground, window wells help prevent water seeping through the basement window.
- Weeping Tile Installations – Your newly added window well will need to be connected to your weeping tile drainage system to prevent water accumulation in the window well.
- Other Basement Waterproofing Services – Depending on the specifics of your project, additional insulation and waterproofing services may be required.

- Natural Light – Adding windows to your basement allows natural light to enter the space, creating a more inviting and comfortable environment. It helps eliminate the dark and gloomy feel often associated with basements, making the area brighter and more enjoyable to spend time in.
- Ventilation – Proper airflow and ventilation are crucial in basements to prevent moisture buildup, musty odors, and mould growth. Basement window and door cut outs allow for better circulation by helping fresh air to enter and stale air to exit. This improved ventilation helps maintain a healthier atmosphere.
- Emergency Egress – In case of an emergency, such as a fire or other hazards, basement windows can serve as additional escape routes. In many areas, the Ontario building code requires at least one basement egress window to provide a safe exit in case the main access points are blocked.
- Energy Efficiency – Modern basement windows and doors are energy-efficient, offering improved insulation and reducing heat loss or gain. This can help regulate the temperature in your home, making it more comfortable, reducing energy consumption, and saving you money.
- Enhanced Aesthetics – The look and feel of your home is important to you. Basement windows and doors can significantly enhance the overall appearance of the interior and exterior of your home. They bring in natural light, making the basement feel livable, while improving the curb appeal of your home.
