Installation of backup pumps for basements and crawl spaces

The Safe Gard Discharge Outlet in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu

The Sumplus is connected to our Safe Guard extension system, which is installed outside the house at the point where the discharge pipe extends. A specially designed screened adapter allows water to be pumped out even if the underground pipe freezes during the winter. This helps you avoid the risk of water backing up into your basement.

An open sump pit is not only a nuisance, but it can also be dangerous, unsanitary, and can get clogged with unwanted debris. Furthermore, an open sump pit can let insects, odors, and harmful gases, such as radon, enter your family's environment.

Pro Series Double Protection Pump

Your safety is now guaranteed

In case Pump 1 (Pro Series) fails, Pump 2 (Pro Series) immediately takes over to ensure continuous pumping.

Entirely solid-state, the system is equipped with a 10 A automatic charger, a controller with an alarm light, and an alert system. It provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous pumping on a fully charged battery, with a capacity of 2,000 gallons/hour. Alarms are provided to monitor the pump, battery, and float for constant oversight.

Pump 1 — Pro Series. The 1/3 HP Pro Series pump, with a capacity of 2,700 gallons per hour, is typically responsible for daily pumping operations. Made of cast iron, motorized with a smart controller and a dual float switch, it is renowned for its reliability, efficiency, and long-lasting performance.
Pump 2 — Pro Series (Backup Pump). Pump 2, a Pro Series model, is a high-capacity backup pump. It automatically takes over if Pump 1 fails or when it cannot evacuate all the water during heavy rain. In this case, both pumps operate simultaneously.
Both pumps are designed to turn on and off automatically, ensuring simple, hassle-free operation.

Why install a sump pit in the basement

The best way to protect against water infiltration. When there is a rise in the water table level due to rain or melting snow on a hill or slope, this can lead to a significant flow of water into the basement, for example on islands like Montreal and Laval. It is therefore important to redirect these water flows to a catch basin.

A sump pit is equipped with a sump pump, which works like an inverted toilet tank. When the water level in the pit reaches a certain threshold, the float attached to the pump activates and discharges the water outside via ABS piping. The Sumplus is the best sump pump system available on the market. It is equipped with a powerful 1/3 HP Zoller M53 cast iron sump pump, capable of pumping up to 8500 liters of water out of your basement. It is also the most reliable and can be installed with a Zoller Aquanot 508 battery backup pump, which can evacuate over 43,000 liters of water on a single charge.

In the event of a power outage or primary pump failure, a sump pit backup pump ensures uninterrupted pumping. This prevents the sump pit from overflowing and causing a basement flood.

Aquanot 508 Backup Sump Pump System, the king of sump pumps

There are a multitude of problems and factors that can lead to primary sump pump failure and overflow. To prevent any failure or minimize the consequences, it is important to install a backup pump system. This backup system protects your home against water infiltration 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is connected to a charger that keeps the battery fully charged and only activates in case of a power outage.

About this Item

This backup pump is equipped with an automatic test, operates on 12 volts and 10 amps, and is fully automatic.
The fast charger works four times faster than the main competitors. The batteries are maintenance-free.
The backup pump ensures reliable and durable operation of your systems.
The Aquanot Spin 508 battery backup sump pump runs longer than the standard battery pump.
The 12-volt backup sump pump can replace a 115V primary sump pump.
It can pump up to 43,000 liters of floodwater on a single battery charge.

Sous-Sol Confort's qualified technicians travel throughout the Greater Montreal, South Shore, and North Shore territories, thus offering a fast backup pump installation service.

Waterproofing issue on an exterior foundation in L'Île de Cadieux, QC

The problem:

After heavy rains and snow melting, our client, Mr. Frank, who lives in L'Île-de-Cadieux, notices water infiltration in the corner between the floor and the foundation wall of his basement, as well as water accumulation around the foundation. He would like to have a dry basement and waterproof his foundation to fully enjoy his comfort.

The solution:

A specialist from our company, Sous-Sol Confort Inc., travels on site for a free evaluation of the basement water infiltration problem. Our solution consists of waterproofing the foundation from the outside to remedy the considerable damages of the house. To begin, we clear the foundation to access the space that needs to be excavated. Once the area is excavated, we apply our liquid membrane called Goudron. Then, we let this membrane dry before installing our second membrane called Delta MS, which is a rigid membrane that guides water towards the French drain.

During the installation of the drain, we take measures to prevent infiltration of soil and other undesirable materials by covering the drain with an effective filter and installing control chimneys to facilitate future inspections. We install the drain with precision to ensure optimal performance and add 30 cm of gravel to reinforce surface water drainage. Then, we use a geotextile to cover the drain to preserve the cleanliness of the stones and ensure unobstructed drainage.

Once the drains are installed, which allow for the collection of infiltrated water and its direction towards the SumpPlus sump pump system, a perforated receptacle is installed two feet deep in the ground, as well as a support to lift the powerful pump, a battery-operated alarm that sounds automatically when water exceeds the level at which the pump should normally start, and finally, a hermetic cover with a floor drain.

Once the work is completed, we install the SumpPlus sump pump with an exterior discharge line to expel water away from the foundation. We also connect a Safe Guard evacuation system to the exterior discharge line. This system allows water to escape if the conduits freeze or become blocked for any reason. This very effective system allows our client to have a dry basement and enjoy their comfort in all seasons. Afterwards, we leave the Delta membrane in place to ensure effective waterproofing of the foundation.

The FlowDrain drains are then installed on a gravel bed, and the floor is covered with concrete. Once the drains are installed, they collect the infiltrated water and convey it to the SumPlus sump pump system. A perforated receptacle is also buried two feet deep in the ground. The sump pump system then discharges the water outside the house through an independent SafeGard discharge line, ensuring efficient and secure removal of the infiltrated water.

Thanks to this comprehensive solution, Mr. Andrew Martin will be able to enjoy a dry and comfortable basement, eliminating the water infiltration and musty odor issues he previously experienced.
