An open sump pit can release unpleasant odors and even radon gases. It is also a collector of dust, dirt, and other small particles that can clog the pump and cause it to fail when you need it the most. We upgraded their current sump to our Super Sump Pump. The SuperSump is equipped with a 1/3hp Zoeller pump, which pumps 2650 gallons per hour. The SuperSump also comes with an Airtight lid so no odors or harmful gases can escape and no bugs or dirt can enter.
In this basement, the owner had a sump pump that was working, but wanted to add a battery to the system in case of a power outage. Our team installed our UltraSump Battery Back-up to the sump itself, which will sound an alarm when the battery kicks on. The system removes up to 12,000 gallons of water when fully charged and can keep the home protected from flooding till the primary pump kicks back on.
In this basement, water was coming in and would sit in the corner of the home. Our team went out to dig up the foundation along the perimeter to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system that is designed to capture water seepage that comes through the walls. This device is connected to the sump pump system that will properly pump water safely and efficiently away from the home.
This was a repeat customer of ours. We had previously installed a sump pump in the customer's basement, and then a few years later, water started to appear in a different section. After further investigation, it was apparent that there were small hairline cracks on the foundation wall that allowed water to enter the basement when it rained.
First, we had to take care of those hairline cracks, so we installed FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan seals cracks with a flexible urethane sealant that will stop water penetration. FlexiSpan is flexible and moves with the wall, which eliminates re-cracking on the wall.
At this home, the discharge line was backing up water through the downspout and also caused mud to backup into the sump pump. We installed the IceGuard with an extended discharge line that will drain out through the LawnScape at the end of the underground pipe. This system will prevent flooding by allowing water to escape through the discharge line and will prevent frozen discharge lines during the winter months.
