SuperSump Plus Versus an Old Sump Hole - Gloucester Point, VA

This homeowner in Gloucester Point was using an old sump hole to help collect any water that infiltrated their basement. Unfortunately, these sump holes are useless in collecting any water seeping through the basement foundation walls. The old pump could not handle the amount of infiltrating water, and there was nothing in place to direct the water to the sump pump. Our team was sent out to install a number of solutions to help combat water infiltration. We mechanically fastened a durable 10-mil CleanSpace Light vapor barrier over the walls to help protect the basement from water seeping through the walls. This also collects any infiltrating water and sends it down to a WaterGuard XL drainage system that we installed within a trench leading to our sump system. The sump system itself is what we call a SuperSump Plus system. It used our TripleSafe twin line basin with a single cast iron 1/3 horsepower Zoller pump. This reliable sump pump can handle 2,650 gallons per hour smoothly and quietly. It uses a mechanical float switch and will resist clogging more efficiently than the old sump. The basin contains a WaterWatch Alarm system, a battery backup pack,  and an airtight lid. Any water collected in the WaterGuard XL system will be directed straight to the SuperSump Plus, then it will be distributed out of the home via hose line to a determined location away from the home's foundation. The homeowners can feel at ease knowing that this sump pump system will help to keep their basement dry and clean for years to come.

Replacing a Sump Pump in Newport News, VA Basement

This basement had an existing sump pump that wasn't keeping it dry. The pump and basin sat in an open pit of water, that would back up into the basement. To help alleviate this, we installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. We cleaned the pit out and filled it with stone to keep mud away from the basin and pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System contains 3 pumps, a 1/3 HP pump, a 1/2 hp sump, and the UltraSump Battery Back-up. Together these pumps keep your basement dry.
