Completion date: January 4, 2022
Location: Philadelphia, PA
One challenge we faced was that the basement was already finished, but it lacked an egress window, which is necessary for safety in case of an emergency. The Jamison team not only had to install a new egress window but also make it look nice by refinishing around it so it would appear as though it had always been there and would not become an eyesore in the newly finished basement.
To address this, our project manager, led by Steve Custus, quickly assessed the situation and designed a comprehensive solution to meet the necessary requirements for both safety and code compliance. We expertly installed a custom egress window to provide a safe, code-compliant exit from the basement. The installation included proper excavation, window well installation, and ensuring the window met Philadelphia’s building code standards. After the window was installed, we coordinated with the local authorities to ensure that the work was up to code and applied for the necessary building permits. Once the work was completed, the investor was able to pass the inspection with flying colors.
Within a few days, the egress window was fully installed, the building passed inspection, and the property was back on the market. The investor was able to sell the home and move forward with the project, thanks to Jamison Basement Waterproofing providing a timely, professional, and code-compliant solution.
