Sump Pump Installation Before & After Photos

This house in Les Coteaux was in a very bad state.

Water was coming into the basement during each thaw season, which was deteriorating the place and causing too much moisture in the area.

After finding our company, Mr. Frank called us and asked for our free inspection.

We waterproofed the entire place by installing our TripleSafe sump pump to pump all the water out, 2 IceGuard accessories to prevent water freezing and a LawnScape discharge line outlet.

Our client Mr. Frank wanted to keep his entire basement dry. His basement had been finished and he wanted to protect it.

SOLUTION

Our customer chose the product known as the TripleSafe pump which included; 3 pumps (2 electric, 1 battery), 2 alarms and 1 drain. This product guarantees a dry basement, even in the case of water infiltration. Ideal for a client who has had one or more water infiltrations in the past, a client in an area prone to flooding or a client who wants to renovate or complete his basement and who wants to protect his investment. It is strongly suggested that you install a TripleSafe prior to basement renovations.

This pump will typically include one or more IceGuards. The IceGuard helps prevent the water which the pump sends outside the house from freezing. If this discharge is prevented by frozen water, it will return to the pump and break it, thus making it useless. This water will therefore go to your basement.

A Lawnscape is also often used at this water outlet to prevent soil erosion, damage surrounding landscaping and prevent entry of insects. Each of these elements has been specifically created to collect the large amounts of rain during our Quebec springs.

This pedestal pump in Coteau-Du-Lac was getting clogged most of the times, which was preventing the pump from extracting water from the sump pit or sump liner.

Our customer then opted for our SuperSump pump system that has a  CleanPump stand; this patented stand elevates the sump pump intake port to help prevent clogging, which is a common cause of pump burnout.

PROBLEM

There was an unfinished part within the basement, resembling a crawlspace, was excessive humidity with uncomfortable odors. We identified several mold spots, as well as efflorescence. 

SOLUTION

1) Encapsulation of the problematic area to eliminate harmful moisture and the installation of a sump pump.

CleanSpace system: It involves covering the floor and walls with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier above. The drainage membrane has a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the sump pump. The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive humidity. This barrier also includes an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold growth.

Installing SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, a pump liner, a cover, a sealed sump basin, and a WaterWatch alarm to prevent any potential disasters.

PROBLEM

Mrs. Louise had significant water infiltration in her basement, despite having a sump pump installed. There was water floating on the concrete floor which started to ruin her entire basement. After being suggested by one of our clients about our company, she decided to call us quickly.

SOLUTION

The expert pump team went for a detailed assessment and explained that having a pump is not enough. It is always suggested to add an UltraSump battery to it to ensure that even during a power outage or if the pump stops running, the customer is protected. The battery provides several hours of additional protection.

Our team had also changed the existing pump for a current and more efficient model.

Our client can know enjoy her basement without the fear that her previous problem might occur again!
