Joe,
I see egress wells like that alot up here in WI. The most important thing I look for is a vertical section of drain tile connected to the horizontal drain tile to the sump pit. And prefferably gravel in the base. The other thing I see is what looks like the water heater exhaust discharging quite close to an openable window ( the egress unit), and of coarse EIFS which is a problem anywhere and all the time even when stuck to the concrete foundation. It won't be long and there will be a crack in the EIFS at the rim joist to the foundation wall.
Soo you get that white stuff too eh!
