What is a Basement Walkout?
Basement walkouts is a service that gives your basement a separate exterior entrance. This kind of project is an excellent way to increase property value and is one of the steps you can take to rent out your basement and earn extra property income.
Why Should You Invest in a Basement Walkout in Toronto?
Basement walkout construction is a popular option for property owners who are looking to add extra value to their homes. It is one of the steps to potentially turning your basement into a separate unit so you and the people who live on the basement floor can enjoy your own separate space. Basement walkout construction comes with many benefits, including:
Property Convenience
Basement walkout will make your whole house more usable and convenient for your family and people who live in the basement unit.
Extra Entrance
Having the freedom to come in and go out at any time without any disturbance is often named one of the biggest benefits of basement walkout construction.
Full-Size Windows
Nothing beats natural light. Basement walkout construction can include adding full-size windows and window wells to your basement. As a result, your basement can get access to more natural light.
Improved Ventilation
Walkout basements often have better air circulation compared to below-grade basements, which can sometimes feel damp or stuffy. The ability to open windows or doors in a walkout basement allows for better ventilation, helping to reduce humidity and musty odours commonly associated with below-grade spaces. This can contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
Increased Property Value
Adding a walkout to your basement can potentially increase the value of your home. The additional living space, improved functionality, and enhanced aesthetics are attractive features for potential buyers. It can make your property stand out in the market and may contribute to a higher resale value.
Basement walkout construction can bring unparalleled benefits to your property. However, it is important to consider local building codes and permits and consult with professionals such as architects or contractors to ensure the feasibility and safety of adding a walkout to your basement. Contact an Aquamaster expert to discuss how your property can benefit from basement walkout construction.
What can be Included in Walkout Construction Projects?
Basement walkout construction generally includes excavation, basement underpinning, waterproofing the basement walls, as well as masonry and concrete works.
Depending on the specifics of your project basement walkout can also include laying basement stairs, adding windows, drainage system installation and other services.
Construction Process of Basement Walkouts in Toronto
The process of basement walkout construction will vary depending on the specifics of your property, requirements, location and other factors. Here is an example of a relatively simple, standard construction project for a basement walkout in Toronto:
- Excavation & Demolition – Once your property has all the necessary permits and paperwork from the City, it is time to prepare for the basement walkout construction. Depending on the level of access our team will use an excavator or will otherwise do all the excavation work manually. Next – footings will be formed so we can get a sign-off from the City or an engineer. Once the sign-off is received the team will start pouring the the footings.
- Block Work – After the footings get enough curing time, the team will shift to laying new concrete block work.
- Waterproofing & Parging – Multiple layers of waterproofing membrane will be applied to the walls to prevent moisture from intruding inside the perimeter walls.
- Drainage System Installation – Weeping tiles are installed following all the requirements to keep the weeping tile clear of debris. If required sump pump can be installed as well.
- Concrete Stairs & Landing – After all the necessary preparation work is complete, the team will pour the concrete stairs and landing to prepare the basement walkout.
- Basement Walkout Finishing – Handrails, basement door openings, landscaping, and retaining walls are installed (if required) to give your basement the good look you want.
While the details vary, one thing is always the same – you need to get quality workmanship from a reputable basement walkout contractor.
