Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Old Sump Pump Fails in Newmarket, Ontario
Challenge
Having peace of mind is great, but sometimes that security blanket can be taken away without you even knowing.
A customer in Newmarket, Ontario, had a working sump pump system in their basement. The space had flooded years earlier, and he was happy knowing his basement was protected, until one day it wasn’t. He walked downstairs to find water all over the floor even though the pump was still running.
He decided to reach out to Clarke Basement Systems with hopes of upgrading his pump. System Design Specialist Ben Wallis met with the client and inspected the old system.
Solution
Ben recommended replacing the sump pump with our TripleSafe® System. This unique system includes a 1/3 hp motor and an UltraSump® Battery Backup for extra protection.
Foreman Dave Jackson started by disconnecting the old pump from the existing drain system. He cleaned up the sump pit before installing our SmartSump® Pump and UltraSump® Battery Backup.
The homeowner is happy that he has his peace of mind back. He doesn’t need to worry about a flood out of nowhere, and his home is protected.
