Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

After going 8 years without a service, this sump pump in Glendora New Jersey eventually succumbed to the accumulation of a bacteria known as iron ochre. This thick slime is known to affect drain and plumbing systems of all kinds and had in this case, completely filled the pump’s pit. After removing the bacteria from the sump pump system, the pump returned to working order and will continue to keep the basement dry.

Along with the regular duties of our sump pump, this pump in Glendora, New Jersey, also discharged water from the home's utility sink and washing machine (note the sediment from the detergent on the sump pump). While our pump was able to handle keeping up with the waterproofing and the home’s utilities, this pump needs to stay in top shape, or not only will they have a flooded basement, but won't be able to use their washing machine either! Our service technicians are trained to understand multiple sump pump how work and will find any potential problem in your waterproofing system before it finds you.

Ron in Glendora has been a customer of Dry Guys for over ten years with good reason. Like many homes, Ron's land is a high producer of iron ochre. A waste byproduct of iron bacteria. This gelationours, rust-colored substance occurs naturally and is known to clog and corrode pipes. The worst part, Rons system was filled with it in just one year. While Iron Ochre cannot be removed from the soil, it can be combated. Our Service Technician Dave Wise arrived at Rons home and was able to save the system before anymore harm came to the system. The combination of regular maintenece and great service has kept our system running strong for 13 years and we dont expect it to stop anytime soon. Ron rates us a 5 star company and goes on to say, "Dave W was here today for maintenance of the sump and dehumidifier. Perfect gent, courteous and friendly, explained all well...overall represented your company and your brand VERY WELL! Hope to have Dave for next year!".

This basement in Cherry Hill, NJ had a generic pump in a hole in the ground. Whenever heavy rainfall occurred, this hole would overflow because the pit couldn't drain water from under the floor, it had to leak onto the floor to get into the pit. The Dry Guys Team upgraded this home by installing our patented SuperSump System. Our system is equipped with a powerful cast-iron Zoeller pump, capable of pumping out 2,220 gallons of water per hour through an 8' head and has the option to include an additional pump connected to a special power pack for emergencies. Our system is specially designed with over 100 3/8" holes and a large stone bed which allows water with a 30' radius to drain before it hits the floor. Sump Pumps that have open lid designs make the basement susceptible to humidity and mold growth, but our airtight lid prevents elevated humidity levels and the chance of mold forming for your peace of mind! 

After this homeowner's sump pump discharge line froze and flooded their basement, they called Dry Guys to their property in Cherry Hill, NJ. During the winter months, discharge lines have the potential to freeze solid. When this happens, the pump will continue to run but no water can be discharged to the outside, causing the basement to flood. This can potentially ruin the pump and anything of value downstairs. To prevent this, the Dry Guys team installed 2 great products, the IceGuard Discharge Line System and Lawnscape Outlet! The IceGuard is designed so that if the pipe were to freeze, the water would still drain to the outside and not back into the basement. Our LawnScape Outlet was installed at the end of the discharge line, directing water away from the home. One of its most valued benefits, thanks to its design, it doesn't have to be moved while moving and cannot cause tripping. Our system includes an easy opening 2-piece design to pull out leaves or any other debris. These two patented products ensure that water is safely and effectively removed from the home taking the worry of future flooding away!
