Sump Pump and Pit Installation

• A hole roughly 3’x3’x3’ is dug in the floor
• The sump liner in placed in the hole and wrapped with filter cloth
• Clear gravel is used to fill the hole surrounding the liner
• A cast iron submersible sump pump sits on the bottom of the liner and is plumbed to discharge the water that collects in the pit automatically
• A lid is secured to the pit and the concrete floor is replaced.

Battery Back-Up Systems

Ensures that your sump pump will run in a power outage

• A secondary pump is installed above the primary pump
• A trickle charger is connected to a marine battery that powers the pump
• Uses the same discharge pipe as the primary pump

External Excavation

Stops water from entering through a block, poured or brick foundation with
proper drainage

• Earth is excavated along the wall down to the footing to expose the weeping tile
• Old weeping tile is removed and replaced with new filter wrapped perforated tile
• Foundation wall is cleaned and visible cracks filled
• Sealed with Bakor Foundation Sealer – or – Blue Skin Membrane
• Platon membrane is fastened to the wall and sealed along the top edge
• 6” of ¾” gravel is placed over the weeping tiles and the trench is backfilled
