Challenges
Key Services Provided
Site Protection Services:
We began with thorough site protection, installing durable floor coverings, and implementing dust control systems to keep the area clean during construction. We worked closely with property owners to ensure safety and efficient communication throughout the project.
Basin Excavation and Installation:
A precise excavation was performed using a pneumatic hammer to create space for the sump pump basin. Fine bedding materials were added to ensure a stable and level base, providing long-term support for the system.
Sump Pump Installation:
A 3/10 HP Pre-Plumbed Sump Pump System was installed and integrated with the cellar’s existing drainage. We secured the pump with cement for stability and modified the standard cap to a drain cap for enhanced functionality, improving long-term efficiency in removing water.
Exit System Setup:
To safely redirect water outside the property, a 1.5" exit hole was drilled through the cellar wall. The output pipe was reinforced with protective mesh and coated with Rust-Oleum exterior paint, matching the property’s aesthetic and ensuring longevity.
Sealing & Waterproofing:
All penetrations and potential leak points were thoroughly sealed using bonding agents, stucco, and waterproof sealants. This ensured a tight seal around the sump pump exit and any other modifications, providing both a waterproof barrier and a seamless aesthetic match with the existing structure.
Electrical Work:
A new electrical line and a GFCI receptacle were installed to power the sump pump. The electrical conduit was extended to reach the pump, ensuring reliable performance while adhering to safety codes.
