Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: TripleSafe Installed in Basement with Iron Ochre in North Ridgeville, OH

This home was effected by iron ochre that burnt out their old, unreliable sump pump. Iron ochre is a thick, slimy mud-like substance that randomly occurs in soil. The sump discharge lines were clogged with iron ochre and the home was more susceptible to flooding. Cleveland Basement Systems replaced the old sump with a TripleSafe. The TripleSafe is a more reliable, long-lasting sump pump that can handle more water and switch on during a power outage! This homeowner was so relieved to have a product they could trust to keep the basement dry.

Old Sump Pump System

This traditional sump pump only had one pump and it was struggling to keep up with the high water table.

Water with Iron Ochre

As soon as there was no sump pump the water was rising quickly. It appears reddish orange due to the iron ochre. Installers placed a temporary pump into it so that it wouldn't flood the basement.

TripleSafe Being Installed

Once a hole is dug, the installers place the TripleSafe basin into the ground and put gravel around it. The gravel allows a natural filtration system so that debris can't get through and clog anything.
