Overland Park conditions
Building basement for Overland Park conditions
In Overland Park, the Plains storm-and-freeze cycles drive frost depth and water movement, so waterproofing and a working drain plane come before any framing. Radon is common across this region, so radon-resistant detailing and a sealed sub-slab system are scoped in from the start, in place before the test is ever run. Code-compliant egress and ceiling height are checked first, since they decide whether the space can legally count as living area in Overland Park.
