Sump Pump Installation Before & After Photos

This customer's existing sump pump was causing too much humidity and odours in the basement, especially because the pit is open. In addition, having a plastic pump which overheats, a ball on a wire floater which gets stuck, and no back-up system left the client vulnerable to basement floods. We replaced this with our SuperSump system and a back-up Ultrasump system.  Now this homeowner can have peace of mind, that the water will be diverted away from his basement, even if there is a power outtage!

This customer contacted us because he wanted to change his sump pump. So we sent one of our certified specialists in basement waterproofing and he presented him with several options that could meet his demands.

This Blainville customer finally opted for our TripleSafe pump. This sump pump system has three pumps, so three more protection against possible flooding or water infiltration.

The first pump is used to pump water under normal conditions.

 In case your main pump breaks down or is at maximum capacity, the second pump will take over and help the main pump to evacuate the water. In addition, this system is accompanied by a third pump in case there is a failure of the sump system or if there is a tripping of the circuit breaker.

 In short, equipped with the TripleSafe system, this Blainville client will have no fear and can have a peace of mind, because his basement is equipped with an excellent system.

The problem

Our client Mr. Pires had recently bought a house in Saint-Philippe. It had a very noisy and unreliable sump pump system and was worried that his system will not be able to expel the water during heavy rain or on spring. So he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec after seeing many sump pump system solutions.

The solution

Replace our client’s sump pump with our SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a powerful ⅓ HP Zoeller cast iron sump pump capable of pumping 8,300 liters of water per hour out of the basement to a height of 8 feet. It is also possible to insert a battery-operated pump. This way, in case of a power failure, the sump pump system will still work.

With this solution, Mr. Pires can have the peace of mind since he now has an efficient and reliable sump pump system.

We have waterproofed our client’s basement in Sainte-Dorothée and installed the TripleSafe sump pump systems.

The TripleSafe offers 3 times more protection than a simple sump pump.

Very often, people experience water infiltration, and wait several years before recognizing the problem and wanting to fix it. Fortunately, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec solves water infiltration problems from their source, because we are the experts in everything underground. 

We easily solved the water problems in this house, thanks to the installation of a sump pump system. The choice of a system must be done correctly. It is never enough to dig a hole and throw a pump in it. Among other things, the system must have an airtight lid so that infected water vapor does not escape from the system. The pump must be installed on a high stand so that sediments in the water does not reduce the performance of the pump. Additionally, the cover should act as a floor drain in case of a plumbing leak, but should not allow water vapor or water to exit through this hole. Our system is of high performance and contains all of those features that make SuperSump the best sump pump liner.

Mr Castano now enjoys a dry and a risk-free basement!
