This homeowner in Langdon, Alberta encountered issues with their existing sump pumps not being able to keep up causing water to pool in areas around the basement. Wanting to eliminate the water issues and get a permanent solution, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist went to the home to assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote on upgrading their sump pumps.
Once the solution was finalized, our production team went to the home to install our CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the walls which is a 100% waterproof plastic. With a 25 year warranty for wear and tear, it's durable, washable, and has anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in! The wall vapor barrier ties into the patented WaterGuard® drainage system. 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 our 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. 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.
From there the system will discharge any water entering the sump pump to the exterior of the home passing through our patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation in the event that the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged.
What a relief for the homeowners to have a better, more reliable sump pump system installed to protect their home.
