Q: Can you finish a basement with no windows?

• <div><p>Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.</p></div>

Q: What are the hardest parts of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they&rsquo;re the parts we typically don&rsquo;t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.</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: What is the best basement ventilation system?

• <div><p>The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement&rsquo;s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.</p></div>

Was told I would need to have interior drain-tile system installed. This did not solve my problem at all as I still have efflorescence on my walls plus put up with a messed up basement and holes cut in the ceiling drywall to reinstall steel beams. The only satisfaction they could give me was an...
