This homeowner in North Adams, MA called us initially with concerns about her insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he also noted the inadequate, open-pit sump pump she had installed next to her stairs in her basement.
We were able to help this homeowner. We removed her old, inadequate sump pump and installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump system. This system features three pumps to prevent the homeowner's basement from flooding. The first pump is a 1/3 hp, cast iron Zoeller pump that can pump up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. Should the first pump fail or not be able to keep up with the temporary flow of water, a 1/2 hp AC back-up pump on a separate discharge line can pump 3,900 gallons of water per hour. If the power fails, then a third, battery operated "UltraSump" pump automatically pumps up to 12,000 gallons of water. It is the perfect solution for basements that may become wet - especially this homeowners. Plus, there is now an airtight cover for their sump pump, which prevents moisture and odors. They now will be able to have a more comfortable home!
