Since there are more basements with window wells than anywhere else in the world in the Chicago area, he quickly learned what "worked" and what did not for every type of window well. In addition, since the mandated national building code of egress window wells was implemented in 1997, he has seen the need for more code compliant egress sized wells and egress code compliant covers multiply greatly, and has expanded the types and styles of covers to meet the needs of homeowners and contractors. - [Home Improvement Blog](https://windowwellexperts.com/blog/) - [United States Egress Codes](https://windowwellexperts.com/egress-codes/): Based upon your location in the United States, your state/county may have different requirements for basement egress and emergency escape codes, including IRC egress codes.
