SUMP PUMP
YOU MAY NOT NEED ONE BUT WHETHER YOU DO OR DON'T
YOU ARE STILL AT THE RIGHT PLACE
OR you can always "do it yourself"
In some cases a sump pump may not be necessary to correct an incoming water issue. In other cases all you may need is a sump pump or even multiple pumps. In yet other cases both a pump and channeling may be required. Your estimate will be for evaluation, recommendations and your informed consideration - ALL JOBS ARE NOT THE SAME...
IF WE, AND YOU, DETERMINE YOU DO NEED A PUMP,
We are not committed or obliged by some one size fits all corporate entity to follow the "PPP" high end sales rule (maximize Product sales, Procedures & Profit) but will utilize which best suits your particular need - NO MORE, NO LESS...
--------------------------------------------------------
This would be the "perfect" solution
You will "never" eliminate exposure to the water table that is under your home unless you build your house on stilts...
THERE IS WATER UNDER EVERY FLOOR - THERE IS WATER UNDER YOURS AS YOU READ THIS - IT'S ALL PART OF THE WATER TABLE, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND YOU CANNOT PUMP IT DRY - THE "ONLY" ISSUES ARE HOW HIGH IT GETS AND THE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE IT IS SUBJECTED TO...
-------------------------------------------------
THE SUMP PUMP allows water to move laterally under the floor to the sump pump well and keep the water level below the underside of the floor slab...
OUR STANDARD SUMP PUMP PROCEDURE (the only sump pump installation we do): If you get water with heavy rains, a periodic high water table, winter water, spring thaw water, cold joint water or get water perking thru floor cracks our procedure uses no under slab pipe but with a shallow well and submersible pump located below the floor, "at the best optimum performance depth and location", to prevent any "excess" incoming water from reaching the underside of the floor. This procedure is fully "code compliant". Simple, dependable, effective and won't break the bank - Automatic on/off pump...
THE CUT AQUEDUCT CHANNEL will capture any under floor excessive hydrostatic pressure water buildup coming up thru the cold joint or floor cracks, any thru wall water and drain water buildup inside concrete blocks - all of that water is then directed to the sump pump..
OUR CUT AQUEDUCT CHANNELING (approx. 3" wide to collect and evacuate floor, wall and cold joint entry water all at the same time) is the only really effective and positive procedure for stone or block foundations, multi entry locations on poured concrete, ledge issues or any uncontrollable incoming water - we do not cut thru the entire floor which compromises the structural integrity of the floor...
THE CHANNELING WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION FOR AS LONG AS YOUR CONCRETE FLOOR LASTS - NOTHING TO RUST OUT, WEAR OUT OR PLUG UP - it becomes part of your concrete floor proper - stone filled for condensation barrier in unfinished basements and another modified version for (inaccessable) finished basement walls / floor...
AQUEDUCT CHANNELING SYSTEMS worked for the Romans over 2000 years ago and those same systems are still working today - How's that for a warranty???
WE HAVE "NEVER" HAD A FAILURE WITH OUR "CLEAN WATER CUT CHANNELING" procedure - THERE IS NOTHING TO FAIL
POSSIBLE $$$ SAVING OPTION:
Under certain conditions we may be able to split your job into 2 phases - if the job conditions permit we can install the pump only first - this, in and of itself, may resolve your issue (dependent on the substrate) - if not we can do the cut channel thereafter - the cost for the cut channel would be noted on the pump work order so you would know what the total cost could be, if required - the quote would be effective for 1 year following the pump installation...
SUBSTRATES: What is beneath your floor has a great deal to do with how any water issue is resolved - your floor base can be stone (the best), sand, dirt, clay, hardpan, ledge or a thick viscous mass that has the consistency of strained baby food (the worst - it is a homogenized mass of which there is no longer any distinction between liquid and solid) - each of these elements have their own characteristics as to lateral water movement and effective evacuation...
All sump pump procedures are used to extract under floor water - In some extreme cases or large floor square footage areas more than 1 pump may be required...
----------------------------------------------------
COMMERCIAL:
Lost floor space can be more costly than having it fixed. Breaking up large floor areas to install pipe is not necessary. For larger floor areas we would first determine exact water entry location, volume, degree of hydrostatic pressure and direction of flow source. This will enable us to locate a pump(s) in a specific area(s) and avoid using failure prone under slab perforated pipe. Costs are significantly less w/o the pipe installation, preserves the structural integrity of the floor and limits our work area as not to disrupt yours - if you have heavy machinery or floor vibration extensive floor cutting is not recommended...
