Battery Checkup
One of Ali's first steps is to check the life of the battery to ensure it is capable to last for our next check-up.
Alarm and Battery Load Tester
The alarm on the left lets the homeowners know when the water in the sump rises above normal; flood prevention. The system on the right checks the load of the battery for the backup.
The SmartSump™
Smaller pump, but mighty. This side of the home needed the extra water flow.
Removing the insides
To clean out the pump properly, Ali will have to deconstruct the whole system and scrape away the mineral & calcium.
The buildup in the pump
Notice how the water is not draining, because the small holes on the walls of the pit are blocked with the mineral buildup.
Look at the second pump
The SuperSump® was located in a tight corner in the furnace room.
Battery Backup
Both sump pumps have the battery back up system to ensure that they work during a power outage.
Scrubbing
Scrubbing the SuperSump® clean.
