Q: What is the cheapest way to renovate a basement?

• <div><p>There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. </p></div>

Q: Is framing a basement challenging?

• <div><p>While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That&rsquo;s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation. </p></div>

Q: Can I install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you&rsquo;ll use a macerator pump to install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete. The purpose of breaking into concrete is to connect the drain pipes to the main sewer line. But a macerator pump will bypass this step and break up solids until they are soft enough to pass through a discharge pipe. That pipe will carry the waste to the sewage line.</p></div>

Q: Will adding a walkout basement increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that&rsquo;s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren&rsquo;t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.</p></div>
