"Cade was very quick to respond and came and gave me an estimate. My yard has been flooding and needed to be re-graded. I also wanted a concrete pad added for a patio. Cade got the job done in a timely manner. Iâ m in the process of growing grass now. Weâ ve had heavy rain since my project was done and I have no reason to believe Iâ ll have any problems. I highly recommend CM EARTHWORKS. Cade assured me if anytime needs further attention that he will be here to take care of it."

Egress Windows questions, answered by experts

Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.

The proper way to install a window well is to measure the window, dig a hole deeper and wider than the window, place a drainage tube and cap, anchor the well to the foundation, caulk the seam, and backfill the hole. The job requires tools such as a hammer drill and auger and some heavy digging. Proper placement and window well installation are critical to preventing water from leaking into the window.

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows.

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.
