Summary

Wet basements can lead to big headaches, especially when heavy rains hit. This project called for both a new backup sump pump and a complete underground discharge line to help protect the property from water issues.

The Work

Installed a water-powered backup sump pump with a new PEX water line
Added a new check valve and connected to the existing discharge system
Excavated a 30-foot trench, 1 to 1.5 feet deep, for a new 3-inch PVC sump pump line
Installed two tees for future downspout connections and a clean-out near the house
Restored the area to a rough grade after installation

The Outcome

The property now benefits from improved basement protection, a dependable backup system, and an upgraded discharge line that can be adapted for future needs. The yard is ready for further landscaping or use. Curious about ways to guard your own basement? Reach out to discuss options.
