Walkout Basements Pros To Having One

Most people tend to go with a second story on their home instead of a walkout basement. Now while we know not all lots allow for walkout basements and you will save on the cost of concrete by going with a second floor there are some major pros to a basement. One of these pros is the noise level for you main floor. With an upper floor you will have to hear those walking above you whether you are in the kitchen, great room master suite of whatever other rooms you have on the main floor. This can be a major draw back in a lot of homes. If those room where in a basement below the main floor however you wouldn’t have to hear them! Another pro to having a basement is being able to put your safe room there. A basement is the most logical and safe place for a safe room. Before choosing a walkout basement house plan be sure that your lot has enough slope to it.
