Winter Protection For Your Sump Pump Discharge Lines

When the temperatures reach below freezing levels, one of the main concerns for every homeowner is frozen pipes. Your internal plumbing can be insulated to prevent freezing, but lines that run outside cannot be effectively insulated. One of these lines is the sum pump discharge line. If the discharge line freezes, it can render a sump pump useless, or simply burn it out, and can cause basement flooding. 

Fortunately, Basement Systems has managed to come up with a solution that will keep the pumped water flowing no matter how cold it is outside. Here is our Sales Manager, Abe, discussing IceGuard and how it works.
