Wet Basement in Damascus, AR

A homeowner in Damascus contacted us with concerns that the water in his crawl space would prevent him from being able to sell his home. Our Design Specialist, Jack, spoke with the homeowner and inspected the crawl space. He was able to present the homeowner with a way to dry out his crawl space and help him get his home sold. This large home had 2 separate crawl spaces with a basement in between. In addition to an encapsulation system, they agreed 4 of our TripleSafe Sump Pumps would be needed.

Each TripleSafe contains 3 individual pumps and each have their own dedicated circuit and drainage lines. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System overcomes the 3 main challenges with sump pumps: pump failure; high volume; and power failure. The primary pump is the reliable 1/3 hp pump from Zoeller, both efficient and smooth running. The secondary pump will operate when either the primary pump fails or cannot keep up with the heavy flow of water. It is a ½ hp high volume Zoeller pump, and when the two pumps work together, they pump out over 6200 gallons of water per hour. If power fails, whether due to a power outage or breakers are tripped on both other pumps, the Ultra Sump Battery Back-up Pump kicks on and sounds an alarm to notify you of a problem. This pump runs on a rechargeable battery and can pump up to 1970 gallons per hour. These pumps all fit together on pump stands inside the perforated figure 8 liner. The lid of each TripleSafe is equipped with an airtight floor drain in case of a plumbing leak, and the WaterWatch Alarm in the lid will alert to let you know if the water rises above the operating range of the pumps. It lets you know there is a problem before damage occurs. The drainage lines for each TripleSafe run outside the crawl space to our patented IceGuard. IceGuard allows water to escape if the drain line gets backed up from ice or debris, so it doesn’t reenter and flood your crawl space or basement.

Combined with the CleanSpace Encapsulation System and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, the TripleSafe Sump Pump will help keep your crawl space clean, dry, and healthy!
