Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Home in need of a Sump Pump in SW Calgary, AB
A homeowner in the Southwest of Calgary, Alberta wanted to have a Sump Pump installed in their partially finished basement. Wanting a Sump pump system that will work properly, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specifically to address all of the homeowners concerns. Our Production Team then went to the home to install our CleanSpace® vapor barrier, 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 the new TripleSafe™sump pump system. 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! Now this homeowner does not need to worry about the new system if the power happens to go out, as the battery back up wll kick on.
Triplesafe
The Triplesafe has three pumps within the basin to give complete protection. If the first pump fails, the second one takes over. If your first pump can't keep up, then the primary and secondary pump run at the same time! Then if the power goes out, an Ultrasump Battery Back up pump will take over, automatically!
Cleanspace and Waterguard
The Cleanspace drains any water from the walls to the interior drainage system, Waterguard
