Preparing for Basement Surface Drainage
WaterGuard may not be feasible in certain areas, like behind an oil tank. To address this, our team removed concrete around the oil tank to implement TrenchDrain, our chosen surface drainage solution.

Like WaterGuard, the TrenchDrain system is installed amidst crushed stone. It connects to the WaterGuard system, forming a unified route for water to flow towards the sump pump.

Perimeter Drainage Connected to Sump Pump
WaterGuard is linked to the sump basin, ensuring that when water flows into the basin, the TripleSafe system efficiently pumps it out of the house.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Components
Our TripleSafe sump pump system includes a primary, secondary, and battery-operated backup pump. The primary pump, positioned at the bottom of the basin, manages regular water levels. The secondary pump, located higher, activates during high water inflow. Finally, the battery-operated backup pump takes over if the first two fail, such as during a power outage.

The TripleSafe sump pump system expels water from the home via a discharge line. With this multi-tiered approach, it ensures that water is kept at bay from the basement, maintaining its perpetual dryness.
