Sump Pump Solution


sump pumpPeople always say, “if it ain't broke, don't fix it”, this may be true for some things, but not when it comes to your sump pump. As with many mechanical items, a sump pump has many moving mechanical parts, and should be replaced every five to seven years. If not, a pump that fails could lead to flooding in your basement or yard. And the older your pump, less likely it will be able to keep up with any surges in water intrusion.

A pump will usually work great on a regular basis, but then there are unforeseen problems that can occur such as: pump failure, too much volume in time of hard rain, and power failure. 

As expert waterproofers, DryZone is able to help homeowners protect their space with a superior-grade sump pump, called the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump will give you three pumps in one, and provides you with complete protection from all three of those problems. 

The first Zoeller pump does the pumping most of the time. It is reliable and efficient. The second pump is only used if the first pump fails, or if the first pump can't keep up with a massive flow of water. If it is raining heavily and the first pump isn't able to keep up, then both pump 1 and pump 2 will operate. If you have both pumps running at the same time they can remove up to 6200 gallons per hour out of your basement, and pump 2 is bigger so it gives you that boost when you need it most. 

If you were to loose electricity, then pump 3 is operated off of battery power and only kicks on when the first pump loses power, giving you that complete protection even during power outtages.  With all of the storms and weather events we've seen on the East Coast lately, this feature has been an incredible asset to many homeowners who lost power. They could count on the battery back-up sump to continue to pump water out of their basement.
