TripleSafe Sump Pump & WaterGuard Installation in Nepean-Ottawa
Challenge
A homeowner in Nepean, Ottawa, Ontario contacted our team after experiencing ongoing concerns with water entering their basement. The homeowner wanted a dependable waterproofing solution to help prevent future moisture problems and protect the basement long term.
Following a detailed inspection, we found that groundwater was entering around the foundation and collecting near the basement floor. Without a proper drainage and sump pump system in place, the home remained vulnerable to water intrusion, especially during periods of heavy rainfall or spring thaw.
The cold room area was also identified as an ideal location for improved drainage access and maintenance capability.
Solution
To provide a complete waterproofing solution, our crew installed:
- WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture groundwater at the wall to floor joint before it reaches the basement space
- WaterGuard Port installed in the cold room to allow convenient access for future inspection and maintenance
- TripleSafe sump pump system to provide reliable water removal and multiple layers of protection
The TripleSafe system includes:
- A primary pump for everyday water removal
- A secondary pump for high water volume situations
- A battery backup pump to help protect the home during power outages
Together, these systems work to efficiently collect and redirect water safely away from the foundation.
With the new waterproofing system installed, the basement is now far better protected against water intrusion and flooding concerns. The homeowner now has confidence knowing their basement is equipped with a reliable, long term solution designed to perform in all conditions.
This project helped create a drier, safer, and more secure basement environment while giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.
