Your Local Port Jervis, NY Basement Finishing Professionals

A homeowner needed to install a sump pump in their basement after it flooded because of a heavy rainstorm. They contacted our team at The Basement Transformer to see how we could help them to prevent this from happening again. During the inspection of the basement, our specialist determined that installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump System would be the best option for this homeowner. 

This patented sump pump system that we offer provides the ultimate protection against flooding thanks to its three lines of defense. 

It features two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower sump pumps. 

The primary pump is set at 1/3 horsepower and can discharge up to 2,220 gallons of water. The secondary pump is set at 1/2 horsepower and can discharge an additional 3,900 gallons of additional water out of the home. 

If your circuit trips, if your power goes out, or if either pump fails, the UltraSump Battery Backup System we installed for this homeowner will save the day and keep the system running smoothly. On a fully charged battery it can discharge up to 11,500 or more gallons of water! 

After this system was installed, the homeowner had a peace of mind knowing their basement was equipped with a sump pump that could handle heavy rains. 

A homeowner located in Port Jervis, NY had a basement in need of a full waterproofing system. The homeowner ultimately chose our company to help them because our specialist took the time to really listen to all the concerns the homeowner had. Our specialist came up with a comprehensive solution and included the homeowner throughout every step of the process. 

To address the moisture issues and the water vapor coming through the walls, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System. This is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is perfect for covering unfinished walls with uneven textures, such as the ones found inside this basement in Port Jervis. It even has built in anti-microbial protection known as UltraFresh built right into it, which means mold and mildew cannot grow on it. Any water seeping through the walls would be blocked from going into the basement because of the CleanSpace and instead would get directed into the WaterGuard drainage system that we installed. 

This patented drainage system sits on top of the foundation footing and out of the “mud zone” so it does not become clogged with dirt or debris. The wall flange that extends up the wall at 3/8” helps the system to collect any water leaking through the walls and directs it into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System that we installed as well. 

To provide the ultimate protection from flooding, this system was chosen. This sump pump system is very powerful, and capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water out of your home because of its cast-iron Zoeller horsepower pumps. We even added the UltraSump Battery Backup System as well as our IceGuard Discharge line to help ensure the system runs smoothly under the worst conditions. The UltraSump Battery Backup System will turn on if you ever have a power outage or experience pump failure. On a fully charged battery it can discharge up to 11,500 gallons of water or more! 

The IceGuard discharge line allows water to escape even if your discharge line was to freeze during the winter or experienced any clogs. 

Finally, to keep the air dry and humidity low, we installed our highly efficient, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This dehumidifier can take up to 100 pints of water out of your air a day and blows that dried air all throughout your basement. 

When everything was installed, the homeowner knew they had a healthy and dry basement! 

·       We gave a basement in Port Jervis, NY a total waterproofing job from start to finish.

Our crew came up with a game plan to install our WaterGuard drainage system and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to prevent water from finding its way into this homeowner’s basement. Our WaterGuard drainage system is installed above what is known as the “mud zone” to prevent any clogging from occurring due to dirt or debris. The built in wall flange helps to collect any water seeping through the walls and then directs it into the drainage system itself. The WaterGuard works alongside the TripleSafe Sump Pump System by funneling the water directly into it, so it can then be discharged outside and away from the home. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System also features three lines of defense against flooding. It is equipped with two cast iron Zoeller horsepower pumps that are capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water. In the event both pumps fail, or you have a power outage, the UltraSump battery backup sump pump system will take over and ensure everything keeps running smoothly. This backup system can get rid of up to 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. With both products installed, the homeowner no longer had to worry about the possibility of their basement flooding.
