Egress Window Installation Experts in Perry
BAM Basements & Masons has served Perry and Dallas County homeowners since 2012, providing professional egress window installation and basement safety upgrades. Our crew knows the local geology—expansive Iowa clay and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles—that impact foundation openings and drainage. We design each installation to improve daylight, emergency egress, and long-term waterproofing performance. All installations come with BAM’s lifetime warranty for lasting peace of mind.
How BAM Installs Egress Windows in Perry
We begin with a thorough on-site assessment to locate utilities, evaluate foundation condition, and determine the best window unit and well size for your Perry home. Next we perform controlled excavation, cut a properly sized opening in the foundation, and install a code-compliant egress window and window well with flashing, sealants, and positive drainage. We tie the new well into the basement’s drainage system or perimeter drain when needed, backfill with free-draining material suited to Iowa clay, and restore concrete and landscaping. Final steps include cleanup, code documentation or permit assistance, and a walk-through to ensure the installation meets safety and waterproofing standards.
Perry homeowners benefit from egress windows for safety and livability—especially where clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles can shift foundations and affect groundwater flow. Properly installed wells and drainage reduce the risk of water intrusion and long-term settlement common in Dallas County.

Frequently Asked Questions — Egress Window Installation in Perry, Iowa
