Not all sump pumps will protect a basement from flooding. Failures can happen at any time and add the amount it would cost to keep your basement protected. Our team replaced this older sump pump with a full perimeter waterproofing system. Check out the comparison between both systems. The TripleSafe Sump Pump lid is airtight to prevent moisture from evaporating back into the basement air. It stops musty orders from forming. Better quality air then travels up into the rest of the home which we call the stack effect.
