Sump Pumps Photo Album: Sump Pump Installation in Springfield, TN
This homeowner in Springfield, TN, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair to have a sump pump system installed in their crawl space. After inspection, our design specialist suggested installing our TripleSafe sump pump system. Once our crew arrived on site, they began digging out a trench along the perimeter of the crawl space. They then placed our EZ-Flow tubing inside the trench along the crawl space walls. In the lowest section of the crawl space, we dug out a pit for the sump pump liner. The pumps and lid are placed in the liner. Fresh gravel is used to fill in the trench with EZ-Flow and the sump pump pit. To ensure the water is pumped away from the home, we installed a discharge line that is then buried with the drain being flush with the ground. Now, this homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawl space won't flood as long as the system is functioning properly.
