2014年10月20日 · Walk UP basement means, literally, you walk up some stairs after you exit the basement. The stairs are dug into the ground, and your lot is often more level than the homes with the walk out basement. There are plusses and minuses to both. I grew up in a walk out basement with a large deck, but our yard was too sloped to really enjoy it.

2017年2月16日 · In our current (walk-up) house the finished basement is used just for playroom, media room, and guest room, and the walk-up basement feel is just fine. In our previous house, we had a lot less square footage on the first floor, so relied on the basement as a family room, making the walk-out basement much more useful.

2017年2月16日 · I love that my young kids could walk out the back door themselves and play. I could easily watch them play from the kitchen or family room. A deck over a walkout basement would prevent that. No deck, and your grill would be on the walkout basement level. Up and down stairs with trays of veggies and raw meat to be grilled? No thank you.

2024年10月21日 · I have a large capacity dehumidifier set on 50% in a non-conditioned basement. The only heat down there is what that dehumidifier puts out so it's around 70-ish down there, colder in the winter for sure. My dehumidifier samples temperature, relative humidity and dew point so it doesn't run when it's cold but there isn't a lot of moisture in the ...

2017年3月4日 · A stairwell exit is not a walk out. Walk out. No hesitation. We have lived in all 3. First house - full basement with a stairwell. Had problems with water coming through door during hard rains (too much water for drain to handle). Second house - partial walk out. Nice, but not as nice as a full walk out. Still had a few steps to navigate once ...

2014年5月1日 · We do our best to keep debris out of the stairwell, but after a storm like yesterday's, our drain, which clears just fine, was totally clogged up. There were probably 4"of water when I got home, and lapping up over the threshold of the door.

2019年6月9日 · Anonymous wrote:For basement use, walkout > walk up > window wells > no light. However, the typical house with a walkout tends to have awkward access to the yard, eg down a set of stairs. Usually the backyard flows better if you can walk right out the main level onto grass. So it depends on what you like best.

2020年11月2日 · Our basement is a walk out on one side, other side is below ground and previous owner added an egress window (dug into the ground) I think they paid 5k for that window for example. To turn a basemeNt into a walk out the cost would depend on current status of floors, windows, where is situated vis a vis ground etc...

2022年4月1日 · Househunting now, and after an issue at a relative's home I pay close attention to the stairwell of a walk-up basement. That relative had a clogged drain and didn't realize it, didn't go in the basement much and found an inch of water in …

2021年3月25日 · We had been looking forward to doing a full walkout basement but based on the lot topography, looks like it will be a walk up basement (with 6-7 steps). Kind of bummed but DH has the mentality that having the kitchen/living room walk into the backyard rather than onto a 2nd floor deck is a nice alternative to not having a walk out.
