Basement Systems Wins Innovation Award

Larry JasneskySEYMOUR, CT – Basement Systems is proud to announce that it has been awarded two Connecticut Quality Improvement Award Innovation Prizes for its Risk-Free Affiliate Lead Tracking System and the SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier.
The 23-year-old Connecticut Quality Improvement Award is America’s first state-level quality award that uses the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality for Performance Excellence criteria.
The Connecticut Quality Improvement Award’s prestigious Innovation Prize is presented to organizations in Connecticut that have used innovation to create a new opportunity or solve an existing problem, and can demonstrate numerically the benefit to its business and customers.
Basement Systems, Inc. received one gold and one silver CQIA Innovation Prize this year.
“We are extremely proud and honored to be recognized as innovators in today’s volatile business climate by an organization like CQIA. The Malcolm Baldrige criteria have been influential in our company’s growth and success!” said Daniel Fitzgerald, director of marketing for Basement Systems.
Basement Systems’ Gold award-winning Risk-Free Affiliate Lead Tracking System is an automated tracking system for their “Pay Per Inquiry” advertising program in which BSI only pays for the leads it receives. It was developed to be a mutually beneficial advertising system for Basement Systems and its affiliates in a time when more companies have been decreasing the amount of money set aside for advertising. Real time reporting and 100% automation were imperative to the success of the program.
The silver award-winning innovative technology of the SaniDry XP Basement Air System lowers the relative humidity in a home to below 50 percent, which is below the level required for dust mites to thrive. The SaniDry XP has a 110-pints-per-day capacity, a built-in defrost system designed to operate down to 40F, and a direct gravity drain hose to a floor drain, WaterGuard, or sump pump. It can also be drained directly outside if not other drain is present. The XP features a dual-stage filtration system and filters particles from the air as small as two microns (smaller than typical indoor air allergens such as mold spores or dust mite droppings), and an optional carbon filter is available to rid your space of those musty smells.
Basement Systems, Inc. is an international network of basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and basement finishing contractors. The international headquarters, based in Seymour, Connecticut, also provides sales and service throughout Connecticut and Westchester County, NY.

Basement Systems Helps Bring USA Gymnastic Championships to Hartford

Basement Systems Helps Bring USA Gymnastic Championships to Hartford

When the 2010 Visa Gymnastic Championships were scheduled to fall on the same days as the annual Basement Systems International Dealer Convention in August, USA Gymnastics thought Hartford might not be an option. This was because Basement Systems had completely booked the Hartford Marriott and Convention Center.

Hartford, CT (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 18, 2010 — When the 2010 Visa Gymnastic Championships were scheduled to fall on the same days as the annual Basement Systems International Dealer Convention in August, USA Gymnastics thought Hartford might not be an option. This was because Basement Systems had completely booked the Hartford Marriott and Convention Center.

Luckily, it didn’t take much convincing to get Basement Systems President Larry Janesky to solve the problem by pushing the convention back a week.

This event would not be possible without Larry and his company (Basement Systems). It took Larry no more than a few seconds to say, ‘That’s easy, we’ll move our meeting.’

“This event would not be possible without Larry and his company (Basement Systems),” said Steve Penny, CEO of USA Gymnastics. “It took Larry no more than a few seconds to say, ‘That’s easy, we’ll move our meeting’.”

Now that the championships are moving forward, USA Gymnastics and the entire city of Hartford is preparing for its arrival by holding special events, and promoting past Olympians and the 2010 competition throughout the region. On June 10, Olympic athletes, sponsors, fans and press gathered at Hartford’s XL Center to watch gymnastics demonstrations and honor the organizations that helped make the championships happen.

“This really is a tremendous national event and there’s such broad-based community support that’s rallying behind it,” said Tim Daggett, 1984 Olympic gold medalist. “The local sponsorship is so crucial and makes such a difference.”

Olympic silver medalists Jonathan Horton, Bridget Sloan and Alicia Sacramone were at the event giving demonstrations, signing autographs and teaching gymnastic routines to children. Former Olympic champion Ron Galimore, now vice president of USA Gymnastics, was also on hand to personally offer his thanks to Janesky and Basement Systems for their willingness to put Hartford and the state of Connecticut ahead of their own agenda.
