Job completed for Marge J

Completion date: January 4, 2022

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Why did the customer contact us?

A Philadelphia home investor reached out to Jamison Basement Waterproofing after encountering a major issue during an inspection his property failed due to not having a safe exit from the basement ( EGRESS ) a crucial requirement for getting the home market ready.

What challenges did we face?

One challenge we faced was 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 the egress window to make it look like it was always there and wasn’t an eye sore in the newly finish basement …

Solutions provided:

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. Here’s what we did:

🔹 Egress Window Installation: 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.

🔹 Building Permit & Inspection: 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.

The Results:

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 his project, all thanks to Jamison Basement Waterproofing providing a timely, professional, and code-compliant solution.
