Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Updating an old Sump Pump System

Friday, September 18th, 2020 by Crystal Bonner

Challenge

A customer, living in The Plains, VA, had an old and inefficient sump pump system that was no longer working. It was clogged with sediment and debis, smelly, and needed to be updated.

Solution

The team at 3 Pros Basement Systems replaced this customer's old and outdated sump pump with a top of the line SuperSump.

Considered one of the finest sump pumps on the market, our Super sump pump includes a reliable pump, a ‘Water Watch’ alarm system and a patented Super Liner with an airtight lid. This pump is one that we have installed many times and it has proven itself time and time again over the years.

Our Super Sump will smoothly and quietly pump 2220 gallons per hour at an 8-foot discharge head (43gpm). It resists clogging and can pump up to 12mm in solids.

Project Summary

Technician: Cyrus Toby

This old sump pump system was outdated, inefficient, and clogged with lots of sediment and debris.

We re-worked the hole to perfectly fit our Super Sump Pump.

Gravel is evenly poured into the bottom of the pit.

The awesome Super Sump pump is installed and the discharge lines are installed.

The discharge lines are run out and away from the home. Sump Pump discharge lines can freeze but this homeowner doesn't have to worry because he has IceGuard. The IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason.

Now this happy customer has a top of the line sump pump that will keep his basement dry! The SuperSump Sump Pump System is a high-end Zoeller 1/3 hp cast iron pump with a mechanical float switch. It includes the WaterWatch Alarm that will sound an alarm to alert the homeowner if there is a pump or power failure.
