Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: New Home Sump Pump, Toronto, ON

Wednesday, July 5th, 2017 by Ron Monk

Challenge

New homes in Toronto are having the weeping tile system connected to sump pumps rather than the city storm sewers. The builder of the home wanted to ensure that the homeowner had the best protection to ensure his basement was going to stay dry.

Solution

The Triplesafe Sump System was installed prior to the basement floor concrete being poured. The Triplesafe sump system is a three pump system with redundancy built in to ensure that water always gets to where it needs to be. It is designed to overcome problems such as power failure, pump failure and higher than normal volumes of water.
