Why did the customer contact us?

This homeowner reached out to Americrawl to improve the performance and reliability of their existing basement sump pump system. Their previous discharge setup was inadequate, allowing water to pool too close to the foundation and risking re-entry into the basement during heavy rains.

Solutions provided:

After a careful evaluation, our team recommended and installed a new 78-foot discharge line designed to carry pumped water far away from the home’s foundation to a safe drainage location. The project involved trenching a precise path for the line, ensuring proper slope for efficient water flow, and using durable piping materials built to withstand year-round weather conditions.
The extended discharge route now ensures that water collected by the sump pump is directed well beyond the home’s backfill zone, eliminating the risk of recycled seepage and reducing hydrostatic pressure around the foundation. The line was securely connected to the sump pump outlet, with all joints sealed and tested for leak-free performance.
The homeowner was extremely pleased with the results, noting improved pump efficiency, a cleaner discharge path, and the added peace of mind that their basement is better protected during storms. They also appreciated Americrawl’s attention to detail, tidy workmanship, and dedication to providing a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
