This Franklin family had a crawl space that flooded with water when it rained. Their old pump was not doing the job and they were worried about mold growth. They call Frontier Basement Systems to fix their standing water problems!
They needed a powerful sump pump that could pump out all of the water out of their crawl space and KEEP it out!
Our crew installed our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has a multitude of features, such as:
WaterWatch Alarm: Sounds off to let you know if water has risen past the point where the pumps should have turned on.
Airtight Sump Lid: An airtight lid keeps odors and humidity out while protecting your sump from debris from the basement floor.
Cast-Iron Zoeller® ⅓ hp Primary Pump: Reliable and powerful, this sump pump system can discharge 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head from your basement.
Long-Lasting UltraSump® Battery Backup System: In the case of a tripped circuit, power outage, or sump failure, this heavy-duty backup can pump more than 11,500 gallons of water.
The family had spent many sleepless nights babysitting the basement sump pump. The old sump pump had a history of disappointing and leaving the basement flooded.
Upgrading the old system to a new system was necessary. The new sump pump system is a TripleSafe System with 2 cast iron Zoheller sump pumps and an UltraSump.
This Nashville crawl space needed our products! There was an excessive amount of moisture that grew mold and mildew. The homeowners were worried about it getting any worse and causing serious health problems.
That's when they were referred to us, Frontier Basement Systems. Our inspector came out and looked around their property and crawl space. He took a few photos for reference and tested moisture levels. He then sat down with the homeowners and went over our encapsulation process with them. They were thrilled to hear that we had a long-lasting solution to their problem.
Our encapsulation process consists of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which reduces moisture and humidity in the crawl space and the CleanSpace Drainage Matting, which is installed under the liner to help any trapped water get to its designated drain.
Along with the liner and matting, we suggest our powerful dehumidifier, the SaniDry Sedona, it keeps the relative humidity in the space below 55%, we also suggest the EverLast Door, it is made to seal out moisture and air and is maintenance-free!
A very important product of ours is our SuperSump Pump.
Here are a few facts about this pump that is capable of pumping out up to 2,280 gallons of water per hour!:
All of these products combined helps this crawl space stay dry and healthy!! We are so glad to be able to provide long-lasting solutions to homeowners!
This homeowner in Nashville, TN, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair to have a sump pump system installed in their basement. Our innovative TripleSafe sump pump system is designed to prevent your home's basement from flooding. This sump pump system is equipped with multiple backups so that it will be less likely to fail. This system is installed by digging out a trench along the perimeter of the basement. We then place EZ-Flow tubing into the trench. This tubing allows water to flow around the perimeter and into the lowest section of the crawl space, which is where the sump pump pit resides. After digging out the pit, we place our sump pump liner with the pumps inside and fill the space with fresh gravel. A drainage that runs out of the basement and into the yard is attached to the sump pump system. This drainage line extends out into the yards and runs flush with the ground. This allows the homeowner to tend to their yard without hitting the drain.
This older sump pump needed to be retired.
Part of the problem is that it was open, stagnate water is never good, but this also contributes to moisture in the air of the home.
The new TripleSafe Sump pump system is installed to house a cast iron pump sitting on a pump stand.
The previous pump sat on bricks submerged in water. The pump stand keeps allows any sediment to settle on the bottom of the liner instead clogging up the pump.
During an annual service appointment, the sump pump will be inspected and cleaned, any sediment in the bottom of the liner will also be cleaned out at that time.
Once fully installed the airtight lid is screwed into place and provides a place for a safety alarm in case of pump ever does stop functioning or water levels rise too high.
The homeowner typically loses power during big storms, so this system also has a backup battery pump, so the basement is still protected even when the power goes out.
The CleanSpace liner wraps the wall to help with moisture from the block but also for a much nicer and brighter appearance.
Electrical cords will be gathered and straightened and ran to a designated electrical outlet.
