A walkout basement is a basement where at least one section, usually the back of the house, is above ground.
Unlike a traditional basement that is completely below grade, a walkout basement takes advantage of the slope of the land- allowing for exterior doors and egress windows for bedrooms.
These types of basements are great for separate living spaces or rentals.
On the new house we’re building, I dug the front part of the basement down 6 feet, and the back part is almost level with the ground.
This will leave about 4 feet of foundation sticking up at the front of the house.
I’m going to use the dirt we dug out of the basement to reshape the yard, so that there’s a gentle slope away from the house on all sides- a minimum of 6” over the first 10’ is required by code in our area.
Also, we’ll be able to save money by framing the back wall verses having to pour a concrete wall.
We like to add lots of windows in these framed walls to take full advantage of natural light.
And with the modern waterproofing products that are available today, a walkout basement is cost effective way to add dry, well-lit space that’s on par with rest of the house.

Beautiful property...
Keep up the good work. It's paying off.
The new guy should be proud.

I once rented a mountain vacation home that had one. The walkout area was exposed to the south (northern hemisphere). It was a perfect winter weekend living area because it received direct sunlight and stayed warm naturally almost all day.

I would honestly love to see a lot more stuff like this. I plan to build my own house one day and I have always loved these type of concepts. I would like to understand more about waterproofing and moisture too. People underestimate mold.

That is such a smart way to use the grade of the land to your advantage. Very nice!

Ah, I love these, they are very common in Sweden, they are pretty often used as workshops and garages if the space in front of it allows space to manouver a vehicle

Man, this brings back memories!! So my Dad's side of the family lives in Missouri, and my aunt and uncle live on the family farm. The main house had a walk out basement, and that house is just so awesome. I remember getting my own room back then, when my brother and I shared a room. I haven’t visited all of that family in Missouri in some time, which makes me sad. Thank you for bringing back such good memories from childhood 🥹

That is a great way of taking advantage of a uneven surface area I have never lived in a house with basement here in north Texas that is not very common to see in a house but one that time I was in St Louis Mo remodeling a house and it has a basement where they have all the utilities like the HAVC , laundry room, water treatment system and storage and it was unusual for me but wait a minute I got all distracted and 👀😳 Where is the little new guy wearing his cute helmet ⛑️ he needs to be in every single video of this project… Y’all have a great weekend 👋

I grew up with a walkout basement in MN. It was great! Helped the basement be nice and bright instead of feeling dark and cramped. Would love one but I live near Houston and TX builders don't do basements. 😢

I live in Maine and we were able to have a walk out basement in our home. It’s great! Easy access and the basement is dryer with 1 1/2 walls not against dirt.

My house has an electric sump pump as well as a water-powered backup sump pump. Plus a natural gas backup generator. Complete peace of mind - even in a Midwest thunderstorm!

Pretty common here in North GA. My last 3 houses have had walkout basements. In fact, 100% underground basements are very rare here.

Reverse story and a halves, or reverse two stories are some of the funnest projects to design and build.. I have done about 80 of them. But that was back in the mid '90s.

My great grandparents (yes I knew them great grandfather died when I was in high-school (late 70's) and great grandmother died a few years ago (past 110+)) I always called it a half basement but that was my own name for it I think or at the very least that's what my family called it. Cool to see it being built.
