Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Replacing a Failing Sump Pump in a Breese, IL Basement
A sump pump was not able to pump out the amount of water that was entering it in Breese, IL, causing water to pool on the floor. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
Failing Pump
This sump pump is failing, causing water to continue to leak in the basement.
Perimeter Drainage System
WaterGuard will catch wall seepage and drain it to the sump pump.
New Pump
The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it.
Discharge Lines
IceGuard will allow water to escape if the pipes become frozen or blocked for any reason.
