Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

In Washington, IN, a homeowner needed a new sump pump. Their old pump was plastic and did not have a lid. The lidless sump pump had caused the basement to be exposed to moisture whenever the sump collected water inside. The homeowner needed an upgrade to their sump system for it to benefit the home's health. 

The UltraSump pump has a cast iron pump called the Zoeller pump. Cast iron pumps are quiet, cool well, and last longer compared to plastic pumps. At Healthy Spaces, our sump pumps have an airtight lid that will prevent water from evaporating into your basement, stop stuff from clogging the pump, and quiet the system. A pump stand will elevate the pump above the bottom of the sump liner to allow sediment, mud, debris, or gravel to settle to the bottom without affecting the pump. If the pump were to ever fail, a pump alarm is located on top of the lid to alert the homeowner. Once the project was finished, the new sump pump looked great in its new place! 

In Evansville, IN, Healthy Spaces received a phone call about a homeowner's wish to replace their sump pump with one of ours. The sump pump did not have an airtight lid, which was exposing water vapor to the basement. When water vapor is exposed and humidity is present, then mold can form. The homeowner wanted to prevent the growth of mold before it started. 

The sump pump was replaced with the SuperSump pump. The SuperSump pump has a quiet iron pump, cools well, and lasts longer. The SuperSump has an airtight lid that prevents water from evaporating into the basement and stops objects from falling and clogging the pump. The pump will bring the water out and away from the home. The homeowners were no longer feeling distressed about their sump pump. That's why we are here!

It can be frustrating finding water in your basement, especially when you use that space for storage.  This was the exact dilemma that a homeowner in Newburgh, IN was dealing with. The corner of the room needed to be waterproofed if the homeowners wanted a safe storage unit in the future. A problem like this needed to be resolved by a well-trained crew such as with Healthy Spaces. 

The SuperSump is a great sump pump to be used in a basement area. The SuperSump pump comes with an airtight lid that will prevent water from evaporating into your basement, stop things from falling and clogging the pump, and quiets the system. A pump alarm is placed on top of the lid to alert you if your crawl space was ever flooded or in danger of being flooded. As the SuperSump pump was installed, the family was insured that their basement will be protected moving forward. 

When water gets into your crawl space, it can affect the floor above. If wood is exposed to water for an extended amount of time, it can damage the structure of the home and attract mold. A couple in Owensboro, Kentucky had noticed a large amount of water had been entering their crawl space. The humidity and moisture had created a comfy place for mold to stay. 

The solution for groundwater leakage is to install a SmartSump pump in the ground. The SmartSump is a specially designed system that has a sturdy liner, floor drain in the lid, reliable cast-iron pump, stand, and an alarm. The alarm is helpful in case the pumps ever failed or a plumbing leak occurs. Next, a drainage system such as the dimpled matting is laid across the crawl space's dirt floor. These dimples will hold water and allow it to flow toward the sump. Once the drainage system is put in CleanSpace is secured on top of the dimpled matting. CleanSpace had an antimicrobial additive in the liner that will prevent mold growth from forming. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is plugged in to run whenever humidity is detected. This makes it very hard for mold to exist. All products are paired together to create a healthy, effective system for the crawl space, providing relief to the couple!
