Summer of Sump Pumps: Exploring Our Different Systems
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Placing the Sump Pump Liner
We begin by excavating a sump pump pit to place the liner and pump, protecting it from mud and debris. The pit is carefully sized to optimize pump efficiency and longevity.
Installing a Perimeter Drain System
A perimeter drain, like WaterGuard, is installed around the basement's edge. This system collects water from the wall-floor joint, basement walls, and under the floor, directing it to the sump pump.
Sump Pump Installation
The sump pump is connected to the perimeter drain, with clean gravel backfilled around the liner to prevent sediment entry. An airtight lid keeps out odors, humidity, and debris.
Restoring the Floor
The floor is restored flush for a clean, professional look, ensuring better drainage and reliability. Optional discharge line burial can be done if conditions allow.
Cleanup & Finishing Touches
Our team ensures your basement is clean and clear of debris, with discharge lines inspected and cleaned. Ports are installed for future testing and inspection during annual checkups.
Upgrading Your Basement
Once your basement is protected, consider adding features like battery backup sump pumps, basement wall coverings, energy-efficient dehumidifiers, and waterproof flooring for enhanced comfort and efficiency.
