Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

Problem:  These homeowners needed a sump pump upgrade! Their old pump:

• Could not keep up during times of heavy rainfall.
• Did not have a battery backup in case of a power outage.
• Had an open pit: which allows dirt and debris to enter and potentially clog the pump.  

Solution:  Our superior TripleSafe Sump Pump System is the perfect fit and fix for this home!

This system includes the following features and benefits:

• Zoeller® ⅓ hp Primary Pump - Reliable and powerful!
• Zoeller® ⅓ hp Secondary Pump - If the primary sump pump fails or is overwhelmed by extremely heavy waters, the secondary pump will turn on.
• In the case of a tripped circuit, power outage, or sump failure, this system also includes an UltraSump® Battery Backup System.
• WaterWatch Alarm: Sounds off to let you know if water has risen past the point where the pumps should have turned on.
• Airtight Sump Lid: An airtight lid keeps odors and humidity out, while protecting your sump from debris from the basement floor. Rubber grommets around all pipes and wires help maintain the airtight lid and also help to keep all PVC pipes steady and quiet.
• CleanPump Stands: These sump pump stands are installed to raise the pumps off of the bottom of the liner. Any silt or sediment that settles on the bottom of your sump pit will be kept away from your pump. These stands also allow for height adjustment of the pump if necessary.

Problem:  An open sump pit, an older and singular sump pump equated to problems for this homeowner in Tecumseh.

Solution: A dependable sump pump is one of the most important components of a dry basement.Our Advanced Basement Systems team installed the superior TripleSafe Sump Pump Kit. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection; 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.

All housed in a sealed pump liner – to keep humidity down in the basement.

Problem:  These homeowners had an old sump pump system and pit which was open, creating a humid environment in the home. They were also experiencing some drainage problems and cracks in their basement floor.

Solution: We successfully installed a new SuperSump+™ Sump Pump System. We moved the location of their sump pump, filled in the old pit, filled the floor cracks, and improved their drainage system.

Problem: The existing sump system had no lid, one pump and a water-powered back-up pump. Water-powered back-ups have proven to be unreliable due to how slowly they pump, the need of excessive maintenance and of course the risk they hold as they introduce more water into our basement space. 

Solution: Install a unit with two submersible pumps on seperate discharge lines (very important) and a battery back-up system. This battery back-up uses a maintenance-free deep-cell battery, which is designed to give a little bit of power over a long period of time- the opposite of a car battery.

Problem: This small concrete crock houses an inefficient pump. It's very small and any rush of water could flood the basement.

Solution: We removed the concrete crock and installed our attractive, large Super Sump unit.
