Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Drainage and Battery Backup Installed in NW Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Calgary, Alberta noticed water pooling in their basement, exhausting the idea of trying to find out where it was coming from themselves, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist went to the home to provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address all of their concerns. Happy with the options for repair, the homeowners went ahead with the quote and our Production Team went to the home to install our 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 SuperSump® sump pump system. A full-featured system, SuperSump® includes the best components available including a top-rated 1/3HP Zoeller® pump which is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump was also installed. The UltraSump set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery! There was also a Well Duct installed, this allows for the window well to drain and not flood!
