Sump Pit Prepared in Evansville
In this picture, you can see the area where the sump pump will be installed. The WaterGuard system will intercept water at the perimeter and direct it towards the TripleSafe and SuperSump, where it will then be directed to the drainage line and pumped out of the basement.
TripleSafe Sump Pump System Installed
In this picture, you can see that the TripleSafe Sump Pump system has been installed. Something really important to note here is that besides the pump, there are other elements of a good sump pump system that are all very important. Our TripleSafe was installed with a sump liner, airtight sump lid, floor drain in sump lid, and an UltraSump battery back-up. All of these work together to protect it against pump failure, power outages, or large volumes of water.
Waterguard Installation to the SuperSump
On top of installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump, this homeowner also decided to install an additional SuperSafe Sump Pump. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.

Lateral Lines for Water Intrusion in Evansville, IN Basement
In this photo, you can see that the installation of a lateral line is similar, but not exactly the same as installing a perimeter drain system. There is a trench dug out in the center of a slab, then a lateral line is added. We add a lateral line in cases where a large crack has become a concern. The drainage line runs from the crack to their sump pump system, redirecting the water before it can flood up onto their visible floor surface.

IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line in Evansville, IN
The two white IceGuard's shown in the picture is an anti-freezing system for sump pump discharge lines. Sump pump discharge lines can freeze.Pipe terminations can become covered with snow and ice in the winter. This can spell disaster for your basement if the sump pump water cannot exit the line outside. The IceGuard® system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry.
The Project Nears Completion in Evansville, IN
