What Makes Our Sump Pump Systems The Best?

Millions of sump pump systems are sold each year -- and there are many different competing companies competing for that business. Each one offers different features and advantages that they claim makes their models the best.

At Basement Systems, we've had a full-time research and development department watching the industry grow and advance since 1987. We've taken the time needed to know exactly what works -- and what will lead to a basement flood.

Below are just a few reasons our sump pump systems are so popular:

Installing Your Sump Pump System

When the day comes to waterproof your home, we'll send a full crew of waterproofers to your home, ensuring you a fast, effective installation. Our goal is to provide you with a clean, professional-looking installation that transforms the basement into dry, usable space, while also preparing it for finishing.

At Basement Systems, our installers take these six steps to install a sump pump system:

A sump pump liner set in place in a basement floor during the installation process.

Create A Sump Pit And Place The Liner

At the low point in the basement floor, our contractors jackhammer a section of the slab floor and dig out a sump pit. A durable, perforated liner is placed within the pit, and any remaining empty space outside is filled in with clean drainage stone. This protects your sump pump from mud and debris.

The size of the sump pit is important. If the sump pit is too small, the sump pump will pump out the water inside quickly, forcing it to turn on and off constantly, and burn out sooner than needed. If the pump liner is too large and deep, it will collect more water, and your sump pump will discharge more water than is necessary to keep your basement dry.

Install A Basement Drain System

A sump pump system should be installed with a perimeter French drain system. This drain will collect water from around the perimeter of the basement (and from the walls), directing it to your sump pump before it can reach your basement floor.

To create this drain system, we jackhammer around the perimeter of the basement floor and create a trench in the basement floor.

We pour in a layer of clean drainage stone, and place one of our five basement drain systems, taking care to pitch the drain downhill towards the sump pump. Clean stone is poured around the edges and on top of the drain.

Install The Sump Pump System

Holes are drilled in the wall for the discharge lines -- one per sump pump, and sump pump is plugged in. We recommend plugging each sump pump into a separate circuit, so a blown fuse won't disable your entire system.

Each sump pump rests on one or more sump pump stands, which keep the pumps off the bottom of the liner, where any dirt or debris is most likely to collect.

The airtight lid is fitted ion top of the liner, and rubber grommets are fitted around each pipe and wire to further seal the system and to keep noise to a minimum. Our WaterWatch® alarm is installed as a finishing touch, which may be wired to your home alarm system.

Clean Up & Restore The Floor

Jackhammering the concrete and creating a drainage trench around your basement creates a lot of waste! During the installation, our contractors will load this waste up in buckets, hauling it away when the work is complete as a complimentary service.

We'll also restore all sections of the floor that we removed while installing your waterproofing system. We use fresh concrete to cover up the drain and the area around the sump pit.

We'll make sure that any excess dust and dirt is cleaned up off the floor, and that your final installation is clean, neat, and professional looking.


A buried discharge line and green discharge opening

Install & Bury The Discharge Line

Outside your home, we'll install an IceGuard® Discharge Line Fitting at the base of each of your drain lines. This provides an extra way for pumped-out water to exit your home, should the discharge line become clogged with ice or debris for any reason.

The discharge line itself is buried underground -- the installer is careful to remove and restore the lawn in a way that will not damage your landscaping.

At the end of the discharge line, we'll install a special LawnScape™ outlet, which blends in with your lawn perfectly and is flush with the landscaping so that a tripping hazard is not created.

Upgrade The Basement

At Basement Systems, we offer much more than simply sump pump and drainage systems.

Now that your basement is reliably dry, and can function as usable space for storage or finishing, you may want to consider upgrading your space.

We offer a wide variety of waterproof basement wall products that will either improve the appearance of your basement or prepare it for basement finishing afterwards. We also have a great selection of basement flooring, basement window products, and much, much more. Many of our contractors also offer basement services that include finishing the space with the Total Basement Finishing System.
