Sump Pump Installation in Lake Elmo

Sump Pump Installation in Lake Elmo

Sump Pump Installation in Lake Elmo Sump Pump Installation in Lake Elmo

This Lake Elmo homeowner updated his sump pump just in time for Spring! His old pump had failed so it was time to upgrade. Our top-of-the-line TripleSafe pump was installed. This is a three pump system. Pump 1 is the M-63 which is a 1/3hp cast iron pump that does most of the work. The 2nd pump is the M-98. This is a 1/2 hp that will kick in if Pump 1 fails. This is a larger pump that gives that "turbo boost" when you need it. Pump 3 is a battery back up system. This is a DC operated pump that will kick in if there is a power failure. This is the most reliable pumping system, keeping your basement dry with triple the protection.

These homeowners in Lake Elmo, MN wanted to update their old sump pump that wasn't working. They were also interested in updating their discharge line to a buried, low-maintenance line. 

After a short inspection and conversation, it was decided to upgrade their old pump with our SuperSump and UltraSump System. This includes a 1/3 hp Zoeller cast iron motor that can pump up to 2,650 gallons/hour. The UltraSump is the back up pumping system that runs on a high capacity 120 amp power pack. This means it will kick in if there is a power failure or the main pump fails for any reason. This set up is connected to our LawnScape buried discharge system with IceGuard that prevents any water from backing up into your basement in the case of freezing or clogging in the line.

They were very happy to have an updated system they could be confident in.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Insulation Throughout Lake Elmo, MN

If you've been having problems with your crawl space, our services can help. Some symptoms of a crawl space problem include uneven floors, foul odors in the home, drywall cracks in the interior, and heightened allergies or asthma symptoms. Mold is also a common problem as it can easily grow in any crawl space and eventually start rotting it all together. Besides adding braces to crawl spaces we can also professionally insulate and encapsulate the area with clean space vapor barrier. Installing sump pumps and dehumidifiers where necessary prevent moisture problems that lead to water damage and mold growth. Our crawl space system comes with a 25 year warranty that you can count on.

Job Stories From Lake Elmo, MN
Finishing a Partial System in Lake Elmo, MN

These homeowners started with water intrusion in just one part of their basement back in 2015. We installed our WaterGuard System on part of their basement as they only had water issues in one section. A few years later they noticed the same water problems on the other side of the basement so they reached out to have the system extended around the perimeter of the entire basement.

Now with the whole basement protected, they can rest assured they are done with wet basement clean up!

No More Water in this Basement in Lake Elmo, MN

These Lake Elmo homeowners contacted us that they were having water intrusion during heavy rains. They also had some old wooden framed windows that were not very efficient. Our Design Specialist Ron was sent out to see where the water was getting in and how we could stop it.

After an inspection, Ron was able to determine that our WaterGuard Drain System along with CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump and Everlast Windows would be the best way to keep their basement dry.

We also buried the discharge line and installed the IceGuard so there is no maintenance to worry about for the homeowners besides the annual check by our service techs.
