The Basement Transformer serving Ulster Park, NY

A homeowner out in Ulster Park, NY contacted our company to see how we could help prevent the outside air from coming inside his crawl space, as well as prevent any major floods from occurring. Inside this red brick home, there was a crawl space that was only accessible via an opening on the upstairs floor and a ladder that led you to the bottom. Our transformation specialist Bryon, met with the homeowner to give him a free estimate and to see what exactly we could do to turn this crawl space into a dry environment. When Bryon inspected the crawl space, he spotted efflorescence that had formed all over the concrete walls, a giveaway that water had been seeping through these porous walls. The pink fiberglass insulation that was in the floor joists was sagging a bit and falling apart in some spots, signs that moisture had gotten to it. 

To fix these issues, we sealed off the crawl space with our CleanSpace vent covers. These covers assist with keeping your crawl space dry and free of pests. They are insulated, cannot rot, and most importantly they form an airtight seal against the unconditioned outside air. 

To protect the crawl space from floods, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System as well as our TrenchDrain System. 

The TrenchDrain System will collect any water that trickles onto the floor and runs over the grated openings, where it then drains the water into the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. 

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is equipped with three lines of defense against floods thanks to its two cast-iron Zoeller horsepower pumps, and battery backup system. All three are capable of discharging thousands of gallons of water from your home. 

Once our team was done, this homeowner no longer had to worry about the outside air coming in or water flooding their crawl space. Our trustworthy systems and products were ready to take action and provide ease of mind to this homeowner. 

In Ulster Park, NY there was a homeowner in need of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and our IceGuard Discarge Line to help protect their basement from water damage and flooding. Our team knew these were the best products to help prevent this from happening. 

The TripleSafe Sump Pump features three lines of defense against all kinds of conditions, whether it be light or heavy rain. It is built with a 1/3 horsepower Zoeller cast-iron pump that can discharge up to 2,220 gallons of water as the first line of defense. The second line of defense is the ½ horsepower pump, which will turn on in the event the primary pump fails and can get rid of up to 3,900 additional gallons of water. The third line of defense is the most powerful, which is the UltraSump Battery Back-up System. This will take over if the first two pumps fail or during complete power failure, and is capable of discharging up to 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. 

The IceGuard Discharge Line is another form of protection on top of this already impressive sump pump system. Our IceGuard attaches to the outside, where the discharge line exits the home. The slotted openings in the drainpipe still allow the water to escape if your main discharge line was to freeze or clog during the winter months. It prevents water from backing up into your home and causing a massive flood. The IceGuard is also compatible with all our sump pump products. 

When the job was completed, the homeowner knew that floods would not be a problem keeping them up at night. They could remain calm knowing these products would protect the basement against any floods.
