Basement Walkout

Basement walkouts are complex features that enhance homes but are not always ideal for every basement. They require additional excavation and grading and the site conditions must be suitable to support a basement walkout.

As basement walkout specialists in Toronto, RenoDuck are the professionals you need to determine whether a basement walkout is the best choice for your basement. We’ll conduct a site assessment, brainstorm design ideas, create proposal, apply for permits and handle all aspects of the project.

A basement walkout adds value to the home and provides an opportunity for increased natural light, which is particularly important for basements which tend to be dark spaces. We also install full-size windows and patio sliders and create additional concrete landscaping customized to the look you want. After permit approval, we’ll excavate to level the ground and add footings to your home’s foundation, then pour concrete footers and allow it to dry. Waterproofing is next to ensure your basement is protected from moisture, and weeping tiles are installed to ensure proper drainage.
