This older sump pump needed to be retired.
Part of the problem is that it was open, stagnate water is never good, but this also contributes to moisture in the air of the home.
The new TripleSafe Sump pump system is installed to house a cast iron pump sitting on a pump stand.
The previous pump sat on bricks submerged in water. The pump stand keeps allows any sediment to settle on the bottom of the liner instead clogging up the pump.
During an annual service appointment, the sump pump will be inspected and cleaned, any sediment in the bottom of the liner will also be cleaned out at that time.
Once fully installed the airtight lid is screwed into place and provides a place for a safety alarm in case of pump ever does stop functioning or water levels rise too high.
The homeowner typically loses power during big storms, so this system also has a backup battery pump, so the basement is still protected even when the power goes out.
The CleanSpace liner wraps the wall to help with moisture from the block but also for a much nicer and brighter appearance.
Electrical cords will be gathered and straightened and ran to a designated electrical outlet.
This leaky basement in Nashville Tennessee went from funky to fresh in couple days with proper water management.
BrightWall paneling was installed to drain leaks into a perimeter WaterGuard System.
The WaterGuard system is an interior perimeter drainage system that sits up and against the footing collecting water and directing to the TripleSafe Sump Pump system.
We installed a drainage trench outside of the garage of this Nashville, TN home to prevent water from entering the home. This will keep the garage and its contents dry for years to come. The homeowner is happy with the quality of work that was completed.
Frontier's CleanSpace wall system is the solution to damp, leaky walls. It provides a vapor barrier, drains water behind it and brightens the basement considerably.
For the past year this Nashville homeowner has had a problem with leaks in the basement creating humidity concerns throughout the home. They have noticed mold both upstairs and downstairs and want to control that. This space is used as storage space, a dry mold free environment is important for those personal belongings as well.
