Many times Sump Pumps are seen as a tool to remove flood water from a basement after a flood has occurred. However, Stormguard Floodplan are pleased to offer a revolutionary new method of flood protection in the form of under floor sump pump which can drastically reduce the damage caused by flood water.
A sump pump system is a pump that can be located within the lowest part of a basement or under floor void, outside flood prone patio, driveway, garden or garage. Placement can be discussed to remedy the needs of the area in question dependent on your needs. The role of a sump pump is to keep the groundwater levels within the area it is situated at bay, to ensure the area is kept free from groundwater flooding.
The pumps sit within a specially constructed sump chamber that houses the pump. This allows for groundwater to be filtered before it enters the pump, once the water enters and the pump kicks in, it works on a continual until the water levels decrease.
The pump then automatically switches off until it is needed again. Battery back up systems can be installed for areas prone to power outages during flood. We have varying pump capacities to suit your needs. Anything from 9,000L of water per hour plus.
Often when flooding occurs the flow of electricity to a home can be affected. No matter how efficient your sump pump is it cannot work if it isn’t being powered. That’s why we are able to install a battery back-up system if required (additional costs may apply), which will kick in automatically if the primary system fails.
This is a high tech system designed for long periods of standby use and can pump out over 11,000 gallons of water on a single charge. The battery is automatically recharged when the power is restored — your sump pump will be working even if you are away from home at the time of the flood.
Our professionally installed sump pump has a number of advantages over other installers. You can be assured that our sump pump installations are both clean and neat. All too many times we have seen installations that are little more than a hole in the basement — highly dangerous as debris, animals and even children can fall into these holes.
We install a fully sealed unit which helps to keep your basement looking clean and neat. It also prevents anything falling into the flood water pump which might restrict its function in a flooding situation.
We also ensure that as little space as possible is used by the sump pump. The units we install can bear the weight of a person standing on top of them and blend in naturally with the surroundings of the room. With home-buyers becoming more aware of the need for flood protection, our sump pumps are a great way to add value to your home.
