Discover Beautiful Spaces By Getting Help From An Ottawa Basement Renovation Service

By Cliford Waluhan


Many houses that are built in cold climates will have a basement and it is considered a part of the foundation. They are all built below the frost line but having said that it is not uncommon for those that live in warmer climates to have this extra space under the house as well. Many people like to make this extra space into another room and this is where one will be in need of assistance with the Ottawa basement renovations professionals.

These basements do have a specific purpose and they are there to help prevent the house from moving when there is frost. Typically they are dug to just over two meters deep but in some States they have been known to go as deep and seven feet. This is also the best place where one can store all the heating and cooling equipment so that it is not seen in the above living areas.

They are able to answer any questions that may arise when considering this kind of renovation, starting with how much this process will set one back. Any structural issues as well and building permits will be explained in great detail and they are also able to help one to plan to optimise the area. All quotes given will be free and this includes all professional advice as well as three different budget options.

All of the prices quoted will be fixed so there will be no surprises somewhere down the line. An itemized quote is standard and this will include even the doorstoppers that are requested. All of their work has a five year warranty or if preferred an optional extra five years can be added.

These are then still divided into the different types. The daylight basement is under a house that is built upon a slope so that part of the floor will be above ground and a doorway can be added. Only the part that is below the ground is considered a true basement.

When requesting a quote it will be free and one will also be provided with professional advice as well as options by a dedicated team. They will do whatever they can to ensure that the budget set aside will be affordable. One will be given access to many free project ideas as well as different pictures to help create a dream basement.

The walk up basement has an outside entrance that is accessible via a stairwell and can be covered with bulkhead doors to keep the rain from pooling in the stairwell. The general way that these basements are built is that the floor is made of concrete and the finished floor is then raised with thin foam in between. In some homes people have added heating systems that are embedded inside the concrete itself.
