Interior French Drain
WaterGuard was installed along the interior perimeter of the basement. This system collects water before being exposed to the basement, filter it to the sump pump system.
Surface Drainage System
TrenchDrain was installed around immovable utilities such as this oil tank. With the ability to collect water on the surface of the foundation floor, TrenchDrain also has the ability to collect water from below the slab. This system connects to WaterGuard, forming one path of water to flow into the sump basin.
Basement Entrance Drainage System
TrenchDrain was also installed at the doorway of the basement.
Sump Pump System
As water fills in the TripleSafe Sump Pump's basin, it is met be a series of three pumps. The first pump handles normal water levels, operating at 1/3 horsepower. During events such as heavy rains or snow, a second pump activates, operating at 1/2 horsepower. Lastly, a battery-powered backup pump saves the day in the event of an emergency such as a power outage. With a fully charged battery, this pump can remove over 11,500 gallons of water!
Discharge Line with IceGuard
Water is pumped out of the home through a discharge line. The line is routed to an area where water safely slopes downward away from the home, and then buried. IceGuard was installed to this system to allow water to flow freely despite freezing temperatures or the line clogging. This provides extra peace of mind that the system won't get backed up and flood the basement.
Bubbler Pot
A bubbler pot was installed to the end of the discharge line. This prevents water from pooling on the lawn's surface.
