How thick should a concrete basement floor be?

• <div><p>The average thickness of a concrete basement floor should be 4 to 6 inches. The thickness of a concrete basement floor depends on your area’s building codes, the type of concrete you’re using, the load capacity, and the base flooring materials. Most residential basements require a minimum of 4 inches for standard foot traffic and light storage. </p></div>

Is it worth it to make your own concrete?

• <div><p>It depends on whether you think it is worth it to make your own concrete. While you can save a lot of money making your own concrete and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pouring your own concrete slab</a>, it's an advanced DIY. Adding too much or too little water can offset the savings of skipping the professional, as the wrong mixture will not allow the concrete to cure properly for your unique project.</p></div>
