Sump Pumps Photo Album: Installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump - Portland, OR

Keeping your basement dry year round is every homeowners goal. One way John's Waterproofing helps to ensure that is by installing TripleSafe sump pumps. This three-pump system is capable of collecting gallons of water and safely pushing it out of the basement and away from the homes foundation. The first pump is a high quality 1/3 hp Zoeller pump that pushes the water out through a discharge line so no flooding will happen. The second pump is a 1/2 hp Zoeller pump that is set higher up in the container bin. This pump turns on in the event that the first pump can't keep up with excessive volumes of water. Finally, the last pump is battery operated in case the power goes out so no matter what your basement will stay dry. In order to install a TripleSafe sump pump we first need to find the lowest point in the basement and dig a 22 in. sump hole. Once the hole is dug, we can install the sump pump and discharge line. The sump liner has lots of holes to allow for water from the ground to enter and be pumped out. We also install a airtight lid so any water inside can't evaporate and increase humidity in the basement. Overall, the TripleSafe sump pump is designed to offer a safe passageway of water so that no flooding can occur and the homeowner can feel safe knowing the basement will stay dry.
