Featured Basement Project
Basement Window Enlargement with Drainage Upgrade
Project Summary
This basement improvement focused on replacing a small existing window with a larger egress-style opening to improve natural light, access, and overall functionality in the lower level.
Challenges
The original basement window measured approximately 12" x 36", which limited light and usability. Expanding the opening to 24" x 48" required cutting into the foundation, and the existing drainage around the window area was no longer viable.
Solutions
The foundation opening was enlarged and reinforced to properly support the new window. To address water management, a new drainage line was installed and connected into the drain tile system to help protect the basement from future moisture issues.
Results
The completed project delivered a larger basement window with better light, improved emergency access, and more reliable drainage. The upgrade also helped the basement feel more open and better suited for finished living space use.
Project Investment
$7,000-$10,000
Final Investment depends on site conditions, selections, and scope.
