Solution for Basement Water Infiltration with Sump Pump System in Pointe-Claire, QC

Challenge

Mr. Lucas recently encountered significant issues with his sump pump system: it was excessively noisy and unreliable, frequently stopping. These problems raised concerns about the pump’s performance and reliability, especially during heavy rains or in the spring. He was actively searching for a solution to prevent any risk of water infiltration or even basement flooding.

Resolution

Our client contacted Sous-Sol Confort to explore various sump pump system options. To resolve Mr. Lucas’s issues, our specialists opted to replace his sump pump with our Double Protection sump pump system. This system includes a powerful ⅓ HP cast-iron Zoeller sump pump, capable of pumping up to 8,500 liters of water per hour out of the basement, even at a height of 8 feet. Additionally, an optional Aquanot Spin 508 battery backup sump pump can be added, capable of evacuating over 43,000 liters of water on a single battery charge.

For the installation of the SumPlus sump pump system, we integrated a basin into the floor, a battery-powered alarm that automatically sounds when the water level exceeds the activation threshold of the pump, and finally, a hermetic cover. The sump pump system then discharges the water outside the house through a successfully installed independent SafeGard discharge line. Thanks to this solution, the sump pump system continues to operate even in the event of a power outage, eliminating any risk of water infiltration.
