Code-Compliant Basement Safety & Natural Light Solutions

Upgrade your basement living space with certified egress windows in Manchester installed by the skilled crew at Westbrook Windows.

Yes, egress windows in Manchester are routinely cut through poured concrete, cinder block, or stone foundations using commercial diamond-blade wet saws. Our process ensures clean, structural cuts without causing stress fractures in your home's foundation walls.
Flooding prevention for egress windows in Manchester involves excavating the well pit below the window sill, backfilling with clean washed crushed stone, and tying the drainage path into the perimeter drain tile. Polycarbonate clear well covers are also installed to divert rainwater.

The Critical Importance of Proper Egress Excavation and Sealing

Installing an egress window below grade requires extensive moisture intrusion management to combat heavy precipitation and hydrostatic pressure in Manchester's rolling topography. Westbrook Windows excavates down to your home's footing drains, ties in positive drainage channels, and seals the framing perimeter with liquid-applied membranes to protect your finished basement from water damage.
