In Tea

Indigo Construction cuts in egress windows and finishes basements in Tea, SD. Every new basement bedroom needs its own escape opening; under the 2021 IRC as published, that's at least 5.7 sq ft of clear opening with a sill no higher than 44 in. We confirm Tea's adopted rules before we cut.

Tea basements

An unfinished lower level is the easiest basement to turn into bedrooms, because the rooms can be laid out around the windows instead of the other way around. A house with one egress window already needs another for each additional bedroom downstairs.

Local answers, as far as we know them. Your building department is the final word.

My new house already has one egress window. Can you add another?

Yes. Each basement bedroom needs its own escape opening, so adding a second bedroom downstairs usually means cutting a second egress window.
