Previous Sump Pump Was Failing Before Installation of New System
Before our waterproofing work began, Robert's existing sump pump was failing to keep up with the heavy water intrusion in the basement. During storms, the older system frequently became overwhelmed, allowing water to rise to significant depths and damage flooring and belongings. The unreliable pump left the basement vulnerable and made the need for a high‑capacity, dependable replacement-like the TripleSafe system-an essential part of the overall waterproofing solution.
TripleSafe Sump Pump System Installed for Maximum Protection
We installed the TripleSafe sump pump system to replace the failing previous pump and provide Robert with reliable, high‑capacity protection. The system includes a primary pump, a secondary pump for heavy water flow, and a battery‑powered backup pump to keep the basement dry during power outages. With its airtight lid, floor drain, WaterWatch alarm, IceGuard fittings, and exterior LawnScape discharge, the TripleSafe now ensures dependable performance even during the heaviest storms.
Egress Window Installed for Improved Safety and Drainage
We installed the new egress window and well as part of the basement waterproofing system. The crew set the window in place, added a concrete lintel for structural support, and installed PowerBraces on each side to reinforce the foundation around the new opening. The egress well was tied into the interior drainage system to ensure water from the window well is safely directed into WaterGuard, helping prevent future leaks. This installation improves safety, adds natural light, and supports long‑term water management.
Preparing the Opening for RockWell Egress Window Installation
Before setting the new egress well, the crew began preparing the window opening and surrounding foundation to ensure proper placement of the RockWell system. This step included clearing the area, confirming measurements, and readying the space for secure installation. Proper preparation ensures the RockWell well fits tightly against the foundation, allows for correct drainage, and provides a safe, durable exterior entry point for the new egress window.
Egress Window Fully Installed to Complete the Project
The new egress window and RockWell well were fully installed, completing the waterproofing and upgrade project. The window was securely set in place with proper structural support, and the well was tied into the drainage system to ensure water is safely directed into the interior waterproofing system. With the installation finished, Robert now has a safe, durable egress window that enhances natural light, improves emergency access, and supports long‑term moisture control in the basement.
