Our walkout basement construction method offers a high-grade process for creating and enhancing accessibility to your basement area, providing an entry and exit that is independent of your main home while increasing natural light. 

What Is A Basement Walkout?

Basement walkouts are basements with an independent exterior entrance and exit. They require an excavation process and additional steps, such as land leveling, to create a ‘walkout’ access point. These construction processes are ideal for property owners looking to make the living space more accessible with an additional basement entrance.  

The Benefits Of A Basement Walkout in Toronto

Walkout basement construction offers numerous structural and home-enhancing benefits. The following points are some of the advantages of our construction process:  

Ease Of Access & Rental Potential

With a new basement door opening and a separate, independent entrance, we enhance the ease of access to your basement. The process also improves your basement’s rental potential since we make the space a separate unit with a separate entrance. 

Increase Home Value

Basement walkouts increase a home’s value more than traditional basements by providing a more functional and accessible space, increasing the home’s liveable square footage. They increase the value of your investment and offer a selling point for your home. 

Adds Natural Light

As part of the construction process, qualified teams can add windows to the walls above ground level within your basement. This process provides a viable method to add extra natural light to your home’s lower level.  

The Process Of Installing A Basement Walkout

The process of installing a basement walkout involves a few steps. Obtaining the required permits is a legal requirement in Toronto and ensures safe construction meets the industry standards. 

Our approach to walkout basement construction then involves excavations or demolitions to create the space needed for the separate entrance area, which we then fill by having footings poured.  

Weeping tiles are installed on the new foundation’s base. We then strengthen the foundation, build the foundation walls, and complete the waterproofing processes by applying a first and final layer of waterproof membrane.  

After connecting the drainage system to the sump pump and checking the backfill, we complete the finishing steps, install concrete stairs, and reinforce the landing. 

The Cost Of Installing A Basement Walkout

Each basement walkout construction cost can vary significantly. Many factors, such as the depth of the basement and excavation, the size of the space, the materials you select, and drainage requirements, can affect the price.
