"Alex was very quick to come all the way up from Delaware on a Sat morning to give us a quote. He really knows his stuff and did an excellent job. 3 catch basins, regrading, topsoil,seeding, french drain. Corrected some previous work we had done by someone else a couple years ago.He had some great advice and ideas for us. Lawn has never been drier! We had a pond in the backyard every time it rained. What a relief!"

"Worthington Basement Health Systems did an extremely professional and high quality job on the egress window and EZ-Breathe Ventilation System. The quality of their work is impressive and the window makes my basement bright and safe. The ventilation system has taken the musty smell away and I actually want to spend time in my basement. I highly recommend them for your basement needs."

"We have a pretty old house that hasn't had much work done to the basement. He gave me an honest assessment of what was going on, and the level of work needed, but it was pretty obvious to me that he didn't want the job, either. I got a little education out of it, but he never sent me an estimate and never contacted me again after leaving.

"I would get water in my basement after heavy rains. I interviewed 4 companies for the installation of a sump pump. I chose Basements Love Us because I was impressed with their sales person, who was informative and educational. He was also willing to answer every question I asked down to smallest detail. The crew that came to my home were polite and professional. They were on time, and very organized. The job was done in a timely manner and my home was left clean as if they had never been here. I would recommend Basements Love Us to anyone. They should be commended on their work and work ethics!"

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

A good U-factor for windows is 0.30 or lower, but they can range from 0.20 to 1.20. A general rule of thumb when it comes to the U-factor is that the lower, the better.

Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you’ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you’re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements.

When you need new windows depends on a variety of factors, including the age of your windows, the age of your home, and the climate you live in. If you’re dealing with budget constraints, you don’t need to replace all your windows simultaneously. 

When buying new windows, you should consider energy efficiency, safety, and aesthetics to choose the right window for you.

If improperly installed, an egress window can compromise your foundation’s structural integrity, so it’s important to work with a pro to ensure your foundation remains in good shape. Any money you may save on a DIY egress window installation may cost you in the long run if your foundation is damaged in the process.

Yes, you can always make an existing window bigger, but the job complexity varies widely depending on the location of the window and the framing around it. Exterior walls are always load-bearing, so making windows wider will require structural changes that make for a more complex but doable project. Making windows taller often won’t require structural changes.
