How much basement wall bowing is acceptable?

• <div><p>Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-basement.htm">basement inspection</a> to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing. </p></div>

Q: Can you put an in-ground pool in your basement?

• <div><p>In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/remodeling-basements.htm">local basement remodeling contractor</a> to ensure your space is right for the large construction. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a walkout basement?

• <div><p>Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you&rsquo;re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement. </p></div>

Q: What are the most expensive parts of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-average-cost-add-exitwalk-out-my-finished-basement.htm">cost of a walkout basement</a> can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.</p></div>

Q: How long does a typical basement remodel take?

• <div><p>Project timelines vary significantly, typically from weeks to months, depending on design complexity and active permitting processes.</p></div>

The majority of the windows looked fine. Two small basement windows were missed, and while they removed the screens, they did not clean them. The window tracks also were not cleaned. I did not call them back but will look for another service next year.
