New and Improved Sump Pump- Bayside, NS
Challenge
A Bayside, Nova Scotia homeowner came to Ridgeback Basement System's in search of a permanent solution for herbasement flooding. The basement was already equipped with a pump system. The existing pump had a very weak motor and cannot keep up with any significant amount of water coming in the basement. The results of the weak motor are flooding in the homeowner's basement. This makes it a heavy burden on the owner and an overall pain to deal with. No one wants to come home and think their pump is working only to find out it is working but, it isn't working well enough to keep the water out. Another downfall to the existing pump is that it is exposed, without a cover resulting in high moisture and much louder than covered pumps.
Solution
After meeting with a Specialist, they decided the most efficient way to make their basement dry once and for all would be to remove the existing pump and replace it with a Super Sump Pump. The Super Sump Pump is an effective basement waterproofing system it depends on a reliable, long-lasting sump pump. That's why Basement Systems offers patented sump pump systems with innovative features designed to work together for top performance, year after year. The Super Sump Pump has a floor drain so if a plumbing leak or other unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor, a one-way floor drain in the lid will allow this water to drain into your sump system. The most important part of the Super Sump Pump is probably the Zoeller cast-iron, 1/3 HP pump. This makes the Super Sump Pump capable of pumping up to 2,280 gallons of water per hour. The homeowner now can rest at ease with his new Super Sump Pump fully installed and ready to keep the basement nice and dry for good.
