Finding The Right Sump Pump Systems For Your Basement

The sump pump is at the core of any basement waterproofing system. Sump pumps eliminate water that has accumulated in a sump pit when the water enters via the perimeter drains of the basement waterproofing system.  They are your final protection against flooding.

Sump pumps require upkeep. Pumps will fail eventually. Keeping the sump pit clear of dirt, gravel, sand and debris will prolong your pumping system's lifespan.

A number of contractors will claim that their sump pump includes a lifetime warranty--be careful! Pumps will crash, so the best way you'll know it's time for your "lifetime warranty" replacement will be when your basement is flooded.

Many homeowners invest a lot of cash on the proper drainage system, and then attempt to take shortcuts when it comes to picking a pump. It simply doesn’t make sense! Don’t allow an inferior, “handyman-center” pump spoil your investment. Protect your house and belongings with a quality sump pump system.

Sump pumps will stop operating whenever there is a power failure causing ALL electric pumping systems to crash. This is why we suggest a battery powered backup system to anyone that has a storm water (submersible) sump pump.

Are You Protected When:

Pump Failure? - Circuit Trips? -  Power Outage? -  Pump Gets Unplugged?
Even the smallest quantity of water infiltration could become a larger issue down the road if not taken care of properly right from the start.

You will need to understand that the Pump is the heart of the device, and exactly like the old saying "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link", a drainage system is only as strong as the pump!

The Fast Sump liner contains a reliable Pro Series pump. The Pro Series pump has a three-year warranty and it in addition to the Fast Sump liner is designed in a way that doesn't weaken the integrity of the foundation. A double switch that makes certain it turns on when it is supposed to ensures its dependability.

Traditional sump pump liners can remove sediment from under the basement footing causing the foundation to deteriorate.  The Fast Sump lessens clogging and enhances water flow and the inbuilt pump stand keeps waste away from the pump and aids in cleaning.

Fast Sumps can be linked together to add an extra back-up sump pumping system. The almost airtight cover reduces ground humidity from entering the basement.
