Photo Album: Egress Window Installation In New Castle, DE Basement

After noticing water pooling near a basement window during heavy rain, a New Castle, DE homeowner realized the moisture intrusion was putting their home at risk. Concerned about mold growth, wood rot, and long-term structural damage, they contacted Quality 1st for a permanent solution. Upon inspection, our team discovered that a deteriorating basement window was the source of the seepage. To resolve the issue, we installed our Window WellDuct System, and a new, energy-efficient Egress Window designed to keep water out while allowing for proper ventilation and natural light. This upgrade not only stopped the moisture intrusion but also enhanced the safety, functionality, and value of the basement space.

Faulty Window

This basement window had deteriorated seals and a poor fit within the frame, allowing rainwater to seep through during heavy storms. Over time, the consistent moisture intrusion led to damp conditions inside the basement, increasing the risk of mold growth and structural damage.

Window WellDuct

We added our Window WellDuct to help redirect water from the basement window well directly into the perimeter drainage system. This prevents water from pooling around the window and leaking inside, keeping the basement dry and protected from future seepage.

Egress Window

Our crew also installed an Egress Window to replace the failing basement window, ensuring proper drainage, improved natural light, and compliance with safety standards, while also preventing future water intrusion.

Egress Window

The Egress Window not only eliminates water seepage from a faulty window but also transforms the basement by adding natural light, ventilation, and a safe emergency exit, enhancing both comfort and code compliance.
