How AFS AquaStop™ Sump Pumps Work

The sump pump is just one part of our basement waterproofing system. It works best alongside other tools. After an AFS expert evaluates your basement, the installation process involves:

Locating the basement’s lowest point
Digging the floor to fit the sump liner
Excavating the perimeter for the interior drainage system
Installing interior drains in the trench
Connecting drains to the sump basin
Arranging pumps and components in the sump liner
Installing interior sump pump discharge pipes
Leading discharge pipes through the basement wall
Setting up exterior discharge pipes, extensions, and freeze-resistant discharge line attachment
Connecting electrical hookup to control panel
Incorporating battery backup if needed
Testing the pumping system
Sealing the sump basin with an airtight lid
Restoring the concrete floor with cement

Here’s how the system maintains your basement’s safety and dryness:

The interior drainage system gathers leaking water.
Water is channeled to the sump pump system.
The basin activates the pumping system once the water reaches a certain level.
Water is pumped out and directed away from your residence.

AFS ensures top-notch installation services to secure the efficacy of your sump pump and all-encompassing basement waterproofing system.
