Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

A house can be more than just a family home. They act as businesses, apartments and sometimes even specialized care facilities. No matter what the building is used for, it must remain safe and useable.

A customer in Richmond Hill, Ontario, operates a home for developmentally disabled adults. Safety is an essential aspect of keeping the facility running smoothly, but unfortunately, they were dealing with a water issue in the basement. This was threatening the home and its residents with the chance of mould growing in the basement, and their belongings were often found to be wet.

Looking for a solution before the winter began, the customer reached out to Clarke Basement Systems. He met with System Design Specialist Ben Wallis and they inspected the basement and cold room. Ben discovered water was seeping in from the wall and floor joint and designed a system to keep the basement totally dry. 

Foreman Jose Martinez started by digging a pit for the SuperSump® Pump. When the pump is below the grade of the floor it catches water from the WaterGuard® Drain and drainage stone, pumping it out of the basement. Jose installed the SuperSump® with an UltraSump™ Battery Backup for extra peace of mind.

Jose then encapsulated the area with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier, and Foreman Don Clarke installed a SunHouse® Shallow Well to let in light and help with drainage.

The customer and the home’s residents are happy that their basement and cold room is dry. The house is once again safe, and the residents can live without the worry of a flood in the basement.

An essential job of a house is to keep its residents safe. Whether it’s a stable roof, insulated windows, or a dry basement, every part of our home plays a role in its safety. When something is causing you to lose trust in your home, it’s time for a change.

A customer in Richmond Hill, Ontario, runs a home for developmentally disabled adults. He noticed water was entering his basement, and it was taking its toll. A musty smell was present, and the homeowner was concerned about the growth of mould. He reached out to Clarke Basement Systems in search of a solution. 

System Design Specialist Ben Wallis knew exactly what to do in this situation. He inspected the home and designed a waterproofing solution to protect the customer's home and ensure the health of its residents.

Foreman Jose Martinez started by excavating the perimeter of the basement and cold room before installing our WaterGuard® Drain System. He encapsulated the area with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier, which funnels water down to the WaterGuard®. He also installed a SuperSump® Pump and UltraSump® Battery Backup. Since exterior drainage was also an issue, Foreman Don Clarke installed a SunHouse® Shallow Well Window.

The customer is happy knowing he no longer has to worry about mould growing in his basement. His home is protected from the effects of moisture, and he has peace of mind knowing any water that does make it into the basement will be removed efficiently.

Before, this homeowner had a problem with water leaking in through floor-wall joints in their basement. After adding an interior drainage system along the foundation walls and under the floor, our customers needed a new and reliable sump system. Our SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System was the perfect solution to ease our customer's peace of mind. 

Peace of mind is something we all strive for. Whether it’s something small, like keeping the driveway cleared of snow in the winter, or something significant such as preventing your basement from flooding, it’s nice to have one less thing to worry about.

A customer in Stouffville, Ontario, was worried about the water in his basement. He had an old, no longer functioning sump pump in his basement that was producing a foul odour. Every time it rained, he had to bail the sump pump out using buckets to prevent his basement from flooding.

Tired of worrying and being a human sump pump, he reached out to Clarke Basement Systems for a solution. System Design Specialist Ryan Hanlon went to the home to inspect the old sump pump and review the customer’s options for a replacement 

The customer decided to go with our SuperSump® Sump Pump to keep his basement dry. Foreman Lucio Flores installed the SuperSump® in the original pit where the broken sump pump was initially located and poured concrete around the new sump pump, giving it a finished look.

The customer is elated about their new sump pump. He no longer has to worry about his basement flooding, and his days of getting filthy and wet draining his old sump are long gone!

Stress is something everyone deals with in life, but it’s important to do what we can to reduce it. For a customer in Stouffville, Ontario, the best way to do that was to replace their old, unreliable sump pump.

Their old double sump wasn’t working properly, and they were concerned for their basement. They were looking to renovate but wanted to ensure their basement would stay dry first.

System Design Specialist Chris Luke met with the customers to review our products before Foreman Lucio Flores installed their new TwinSump® Sump Pump. The TwinSump® normally pairs with a Battery Backup, but the homeowners already had a backup generator. Lucio also installed an IceGuard® Discharge System, preventing backups during the long winter freeze.

The customer is thrilled that they can finally renovate with no worries of flooding. They’ve gained peace of mind thanks to our trustworthy and warrantied waterproofing products!
