Basements: Poured Wall Versus Block

Older homes (such as those built in the early 1990s or before) are more likely to be constructed using cinderblocks. More recently built basement houses in Charlotte tend to be constructed using a poured wall. A poured wall basement refers to one in which the walls are made of solid concrete, which are made by pouring concrete into a form.

Generally speaking, most homebuyers strongly prefer poured wall basements over block wall basements since the poured walls are sturdier and much less prone to water leaks.

Basement Homes in Charlotte: More the Exception than the Rule

In the Carolinas, the majority of homes are in fact not built on basement foundations. Most houses are built on either crawl spaces or concrete slabs. One reason for this is that construction costs for basements tend to be high. Another reason is that – in comparison to the Northeast or the Upper Midwest - in the Carolinas, the employment of basement foundations is not as necessary to prevent pipes from freezing.

That being said, sloped lots in Charlotte are often conducive to building a house with a walk-out basement, so that crawl spaces and simple slabs are just not a viable option.
