Common Issues When Installing a Basement Egress Window

During the installation process, it's essential to address common issues that may arise. Some of these issues include:

  • Drainage problems

    Failing to consider drainage issues can lead to water accumulation around the window well, potentially causing basement flooding.

  • Improper foundation cutting

    Cutting the foundation incorrectly can compromise the structural integrity of your home.

  • Dust control during installation

    Not implementing proper dust control measures can create a messy and unhealthy work environment.

  • Inadequate window well depth

    Installing a window well that isn't deep enough can restrict easy escape and may not comply with building code requirements.

  • Lack of understanding of building code requirements

    It's crucial to be aware of the specific regulations governing egress window installation to ensure compliance and safety.

Common Code Requirements for Egress Window Installation

To meet building code regulations, your egress window must adhere to specific requirements. The International Residential Code (IRC) mandates the following:


  • The egress window sill should not exceed 44 inches above the floor.
  • All emergency escape and rescue openings must have a minimum net clear opening of 5 square feet.
  • The minimum clear opening width should be 20 inches.
  • The minimum clear opening height must be 24 inches.
