Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/basement-foundation.htm">basement foundation</a>, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.</p></div>

Q: What are some common mistakes when finishing basement walls?

• <div><p>Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation.

We've used her for years now. Yesterday, had a wasp nest in the basement ceiling rafter. Came right over, and got it taken care of quick. Cleaned up and helped find how they were getting in. Just the best in all aspects. She is a gem!
