When it comes to basement safety and livability, egress windows are more than just a structural upgrade—they’re often a legal requirement. Whether you're finishing your basement or planning to sell your home, investing in professional installation matters. That’s where DrainEx Egress Window Installation steps in with trusted expertise.
Why Are Egress Windows So Important?
Ontario’s building code mandates that any basement living space must have a means of emergency escape. Egress windows offer exactly that—safe exit in emergencies. But aside from safety, they bring in natural light, improve airflow, and make basements feel like real living spaces, not cold storage rooms.
Risks of Poor Installation
Improperly installed egress windows can lead to:
Foundation leaks
Drainage issues
Structural instability
Failed inspections
These aren’t just minor inconveniences—they can derail renovation timelines and rack up repair costs.
