Why Egress Windows Matter in Akron, OH

In Akron, egress windows are more than a home improvement—they’re a necessity for safety, comfort, and legal compliance. Here’s why they’re essential for your home:

• Emergency Safety: Akron’s building codes, aligned with Ohio Residential Code (RCO 310.1), mandate egress windows in basement bedrooms for quick escapes during fires or emergencies, potentially saving lives.

• Flood Protection in Wet Climate: With 39 inches of annual rainfall and 45 inches of snow, Akron’s clay soils and Lake Erie proximity (25 miles) heighten basement flooding risks—egress windows with proper drainage help mitigate water intrusion.

• Brightening Dark Basements: Many older Akron homes (pre-1960) in areas like West Akron have dim basements; egress windows add natural light, reducing mold growth and making spaces more livable.

• Home Value & Code Compliance: Adding egress windows can increase property value by 10-15% in Akron’s market, while ensuring compliance for home sales or renovations—avoid fines and delays.

Unlike competitors’ generic approaches, our installations are customized to Akron’s specific weather and soil conditions for lasting performance.

Debbie MillingHome Owner
Egress window installed in my basement. Did a great job with the window and very pleased with their work. They were timely in both getting the job done and in responding to any communication!
MichaelHome Owner

I can’t begin to explain the high level of service I received last night. To give the back story, we sold our house and needed some work done after the inspection. We needed some water pumped out and a new pump in our crawl space. Matt took my call at 5:30 PM at night and took the time to listen to the entirety of my issue. He made it clear he understood that timing was important as the issue could hold up/kill our deal. He told us he’d be there by 7:30 and he showed up on time and immediately got to work pumping. After pumping the water he went down and determined the pump was dead and we needed a replacement. By 10:00 pm the pump was replaced, I was hooked up to the wifi and could see all the statuses and had a full understanding of how it worked. He was kind enough to check around to see if we had other issues and let us know if we needed anything else done. He even took pictures and a video to share with our buyers to give some piece of mind and could potentially save the deal. I can say for certain I’ve never felt more relieved. I called 6 other places. 5 of which didn’t answer and I got sent to voicemail and 1 other who said I’d receive a call to schedule and never did. It was an incredible experience and would highly recommend and already have recommended him to family for some work they need done. If I ever need anything in the future he will be the first call.

From quote to finished project, Matt was professional, knowledgeable, and honest. He and David worked tirelessly to clean and seal two crawl space areas that were dirty, humid, and cramped. When they were done, the spaces looked and smelled 1,000 times better. We wish we had known about them sooner — our moisture problem would have been solved long ago! Without hesitation, we highly recommend Pro Crawlspace Repair.
