Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Heavy Spring Storms Flood Basement in Stouffville, ON
Challenge
Water continually flooded this basement in Stouffville, ON, especially during heavy rainstorms. Even though the home had a sump pump system, it could not keep up with the water. Neighbours let the current homeowners know this was a problem for the previous owners. When they had water issues, neighbours called Clarke Basement Systems, and their homes have been dry ever since. With basement renovations on their mind, they decided to contact us. Our highly knowledgeable System Design Specialist, Chris Luke, conducted our FREE inspection of the basement and immediately suggested our TripleSafe® Sump System with IceGuard® sump pump discharge system.
Solution
Lucio Flores, Installation Supervisor, and his team set up the TripleSafe® Sump System. The high-quality system features 3 sumps in the same pit. If, for any reason, one fails or if there is a high volume of water, the next sump takes over. The third pump is a battery-operated UltraSump. It provides battery backup if there is a power outage, and the system can continue pumping water out of the house. Our IceGuard® discharge system makes sure water continually flows even if pipes become blocked or frozen due to weather. Lucio let the homeowner know how each product in the system worked and answered their questions each step of the way. They were so excited to be able to start scheduling renovations for the basement without worrying if the next storm would spoil their plans.
