How To Finish Basement Floor
Thickness of basement floor?
I want to finish part of my basement and need to know what the average width of the floor is. I will need to use a power nailer (the .22 caliber kind) to drive nails into the concrete, and do not know how much room there is to work with. How long do you usually get the nails? How far under the basement floor would the waste line be?
In a “basement” the sewage lines and/or any other plumbing should be exposed…NOT UNDER the basement slab.
Without knowing the age of your house, or the load the foundation bears; you might have as little as 4 inches or as much as the depth of two cinderblocks.
Without knowing at all the method or material you intend in finishing,,,IE: 2×4 footers, I suspect you need not use anything longer than 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Hopefully your walls be also be otherwise aided in their stability.
I don’t use that kind of equipment; but I understand those who believe it’s viable.
