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.

Basement Systems President Larry Janesky with 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist Tim Daggett, and Olympic Silver Medalists Alicia Sacramone, Jonathan Horton and Bridget Sloan.

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.

One day, you go down in the basement after a heavy rain and find it under water. Your possessions soaking or drifting in the pool it now became.

You look at the picture with a mix of disbelief and dismay. It might take a minute before you become overwhelmed by worry, contemplating cleanup costs, losses, damages, the hard work ahead, the mess.

Will the furnace still work? How about the water heater?

You decide you need to do something, but you don’t know what or where to start. You need to call for help but doesn’t know who to call.

This article will give you a step-by-step guide to recovering from basement flooding and taking all the necessary steps to prevent that from happening again.

Connecticut Basement Systems came out about three days later and put in the sump pump. It’s truly a beast. See boring picture below.

It rained heavily a few days later, and lo and behold, the sump pump works! No water AT ALL. We could hear it click on and flush out the water intermittently, so we know there was definitely the possibility of damage if we had done nothing.

This is an excerpt from the blog, which explains in detail how this Connecticut customer’s basement was flooded twice, between February and March 2010. The last time, it happened while they were on vacation.

They called us, and their once flood-prone basement is now dry, despite the heavy rains that have been hitting the East Coast this spring.
