Recognizing the Need for a Sump Pump Upgrade
This old sump pump system sure could use an upgrade! It's a great idea to update your old sump pump before it decides to randomly quit, leaving you with the hassle of a basement full of water. This sump pump is also missing one of the key elements of an effective sump pump system, an air tight lid. Without an airtight lid, moisture from the sump pump is disbursing throughout their entire basement.

Don't be Safe, be Triple Safe
Triple Safe to the rescue! The Triple Safe sump pump system being installed contains the key missing components that Randy & Melissa's previous sump pump did not have, an air tight lid, floor drain, pump stand, and a pump alarm. These are the essential features needed to help keep a basement dry.

WaterGuard Installation Rocks!
Now drainage stone is laid around the WaterGuard, then concrete is replaced over top. The wall flange creates a small gap that allows moisture from the walls and cove joint to freely flow into the drain.

Once the concrete has been replaced, this floor is once again seamless. The WaterGuard system goes virtually unnoticed and is a welcomed asset to the home. The Triple Safe sump pump is level with the floor and close to the wall making it minimally invasive of the useful space in Randy & Melissa's basement.
