Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Nanton, Alberta was looking to upgrade their existing DIY sump pump installation since they were in the process of renovating the basement, so they contacted the waterproofing experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems to learn more about sump pump systems and installations.

A System Design Specialist was able to assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote on removing and upgrading their existing pump. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to remove the old sump pump, replacing it with our SuperSump® sump pump system. A full-featured system, SuperSump® includes the best components available including a top-rated 1/3HP Zoeller® pump is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump is tied into the system, set at the highest level the UltraSump® will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery!

A property in Linden, AB had a sump pump installed in 2012 and it was time for their highly recommended annual service. When the service technician went out, they changed out the check valve and nine volt battery, vacuumed out all of the sediment and silt that was built up within the basin then they flood tested the entire system to ensure it was all working properly.

This homeowner in Chestermere, Alberta had noticed that their sump system was not able to keep up with the amount of water that was entering their home's crawlspace. Needing to find a solution as soon as possible they had 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 was then able to then come to the home to remove the old, failing sump system and install our SuperSump® sump pump system. A full-featured system, SuperSump® includes the best components available including a top-rated 1/3HP Zoeller® pump is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping. 

This homeowner feels more at ease knowing that their sump system is up to date.

This sump pump was installed back in 2011 and for the most part, has had an annual service appointment every year since then. However, these homeowners stopped scheduling these appointments for 2 years, and their sump pump stopped working. They contacted us and scheduled an annual service appointment so we could fix their sump pump. 

Our Service Technician determined that due to all the silt and sediment at the bottom of the basin, the pump had clogged and was unable to function. After cleaning the pump and testing all of the components, these homeowners are now back to having a functioning sump pump!

This is why we urge everyone with a sump pump to stay consistent on their annual service appointments! This can happen to anyone, so let us find the problems before they find you! 

This customer contacted us because they had water coming into their home at the floor joists and cracks in the foundation. There was a potential that a water mane was broken, but after contacting the town of Coleman, AB it was discovered that that was not the cause of the water leaking in suddenly. Because of this, we installed a full waterproofing system to ensure that it would not happen again. That includes our WaterGuard® below-floor drain to collect the ground water, our SuperSump® sump pump to dispose of the groundwater, and our CleanSpace® vapor barrier to keep moisture of of the room.
