Our client in Laval had been living in his house for over 30 years. For the past 3 years, the basement had flooded on multiple occasions.
During the inspection our specialist Jorge did, the client mentioned that they really wanted to make their basement a livable area once again.
Jorge determined that the main problem was the lack of a sump pump system, and as such recommended installing a SuperSump system to resolve the issue.
Wood in the basement - a bad idea
Wood subfloors are always a bad idea in a basement. With the possibility of a flood or water vapor passing through the porous cement slab constantly, organic materials such as wood always get damaged with time.
Discharging the water of the sump pump
In order to avoid the problem of water back up during heavy storms, we discharge the water of our SuperSump system on the terrain surrounding the house. This way, we can offer the safest results to our clients and significantly reduce the risk of a flood.
SuperSump installation
The SuperSump is an ideal sump pump system for customers who want to save money while getting all the great features required to keep their basement dry.
To install the SuperSump, we break the cement and do a hole that is over 2 feet deep, which helps drain water from under the slab.
The best sump pump system in Laval
The SuperSump sump pump system has a sturdy liner with 100 holes to drain water from the ground, a great Zoller 1/3 hp iron cast pump, a cover to reduce water vapor from escaping into the basement, a floor drain as well as a WaterWatch alarm that sounds when the level of the water goes up, thus warning the homeowners about a possible flood.
In addition, we can add an UltarSump backup pump for clients who want better protection in case of any electrical power outage or the main pump failing.
