Photo Album: Seepage Issues in Coronation, AB

This homeowner in Coronation, Alberta encountered issues with seppage water entering the basement where the foundation wall and floor slab meet causing damage to the existing insulation and drywall in their previsouly finished basement. Wanting to eliminate the water issues with a permanent solution, and regain their valuable basement space, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems. A System Design Specialist was able assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote on upgrading their sump pump. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install our patented WaterGuard® drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain System is designed with a built-in wall flange, which extends up your basement wall by 3/8", capturing any water leaking from the walls will move downward and behind this flange where it is then directed to the new TripleSafe™sump pump system which handily replaces the two failing sump pumps. Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!
