The Basics of Framing A Basement Wall

We're currently finishing our basement and I thought I'd share the basics of what I know about framing a basement wall with wood studs. This is not the be-all end-all video on framing, but it's definitely a good starting point if you're new to framing basement walls. Check it out and I hope at the very least you learn something you didn't know prior!

Why start at 15 1/4 on the framing?

[@DoingWhatever]

It's a little tricky to imagine it but I promise that if you lay it out like this you will end up with studs 16" on center lol. So the first stud will be flush with the start of the bottom plate. Then measuring 15 1/4" off the start of the bottom plate will give you the leading edge of stud #2. Center to center of the first two studs will not be 16", but the sheet of drywall will not be going to the center of the first stud, it will be going to the edge of it/start of the wall. So from the start of the wall to the center of stud #2 will be 16". Then it's 16" OC from that point on. I hope that makes sense 😃 Kind of tough to explain in text lol.

I’ve framed a basement with pre making walls on the floor. It’s got its pros but you need to consider undulations in the floor which mandate careful measuring lest you find you have a wall you can’t get into position. If the floor is wavy at all or too much junk on the ceiling I prefer to pre set the bottom plate, then the top with a plum bob, and individually attach studs.

[@ZacharyPittman]

We just had to build a wall for some stage stuff at my church. One thing that I learned that I never thought about was to place the bow of studs in all the same direction so you don’t have big warp between two studs. I don’t know how often that matters or is practiced but it seemed to make sense. Disclaimer: not at all a framer or professional here. Lol.

[@DoingWhatever]

Correct, that's definitely good practice to do. I forgot to mention that in this video so I appreciate the tip! Thanks!

[@mikefargo4339]

Framing basement walls, requires "floating" walls by code. This is to prevent the water table from lifting up the slab and displacement of walls, that would be transmitted to the upper floor above.

[@shaunbecker6492]

Great video! Very helpful! I noticed you used screws to anchor the wall to the ceiling (floor joists), I was told using nails allows for some play with seasonal temp changes. Is there a reason people use two bottom plates?

[@DoingWhatever]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful! Using nails to attach the top makes sense, didn't think about that aspect. sometimes the nailgun knocks the wall out of alignment so often times I would use a few screws to pin the top of the wall in place and then follow up with a few nails. sometimes people use two bottom plate to hold the gypsum board off the ground that much further - that way if you were to get water in the basement, hopefully it isn't enough to start soaking into the gypsum board, therefore less damage overall. just need to have tall enough trim to cover that extra gap at the bottom.

[@jamestewell7721]

Not a bad video. My only recommendation is the joints on your top and bottom plate should be offset. Bottom plate is fine then you should of used a longer board to get the seams away from each other. And put the seam between studs and then sister that section of top/bottom plate. That’s the correct way to do it if you aren’t going to do a double top plate but the way you showed is how some builders do it to speed it up (not their house they don’t care). Another thing I learned is when marking for cuts, I do a check with a perpendicular line going up to the tape then slash at an angle to the waste side. Just eliminates pencil lifts

[@DoingWhatever]

[@benshurdhi3003]

Great video, very helpful. One question I have is about the space from concrete wall to the wall you are making is there a certain space you have to keep? I'm going through same project very soon. Thanks in advance.

[@DoingWhatever]

Thank you! I provided a 1/2” space between the concrete wall and the 2x4 wall. This should be plenty of air space should any moisture get back there - it will dry out. Basically just marked 4” off the concrete wall to give me the face of the 2x4 wall. 3 1/2” for a 2x4 leaves 1/2” of air space. Hope that helps!

[@jbspillman]

How did you determine the vapor gap distance from outer wall to frame? Also, how do you know what kind of protection to use in the gap?

[@DoingWhatever]

1/2" air gap is fairly standard. You typically see a line offset from the face of the concrete wall 4" and the wall framed with a 2x4 leaving that 1/2" air gap. this is plenty of space should you develop a bit of moisture in the air gap - it would evaporate without causing any damage. As for a vapor barrier, that will depend on the region you live in and the local codes as well. I would suggest digging into the codes or calling your local code person. Hope that helps!

[@nmaze6913]

How do you check the crown of each stud? Is this also applicable for Canadians?

@@nmaze6913 You turn it on its side and stare down the length of the stud. This will determine if one side has either a bow (crown) or cup in it.
