Photo Album: Sump Pump Issues in Sainte-Victoire-de-Sorel, QC

Mr. Robillard knew that he needed to change his sump pump. It was getting clogged most of the times, and when there was too much rain, the pump could not work efficiently. After contacting our company, our team went to his place in Sainte-Victoire-de-Sorel, and installed our TripleSafe sump pump, a LawnScape outlet, and an IceGuard accessory to avoid pipes freezing.

Basement Window

When this snow melts, the water will seep into the basement through this window.

Cracks on House Walls

Here is another sign of water infiltration through the walls.

Open Sump Sump used

This pedestal pump is open which allows all the bacteria to spread into the place, and inside the house.

Another Disadvantage of Pedestal Pumps

When the pump is open, it will be easier to clog due to all the debris coming into the pit.

Covering up all Items to Prevent Damage and Dirt

This picture shows how it is done.

TripleSafe Installed in this Basement

This liner includes three sump pumps in a receptacle sump.

TripleSafe Specs

The first pump works to draw water away from home most of the time. The second rests on a support to be raised to a level higher than the first pump. Finally, the UltraSump sump pump is powered by a battery to start in emergencies when there is a power outage, or an extreme rain storm.

IceGuard Outlet for Freezing Pipes

When the weather gets so cold, the pipe will freeze which prevents water from coming out. This accessory is the right solution.

Digging for the Discharge Line

The discharge line is used along with the sump pump to carry water from the pump to the outside of the house. A sump pump discharge line needs to be large enough to hold all the water that the sump pump discharges.
