Wet basement? Don't panic! The AquaStop™ Sump Pump System from Groundworks is the ultimate defence against water intrusion.
Schedule Inspection
The heart of any basement waterproofing system is the sump pump. Unfortunately, not all sump pumps are created equal, and most will fail at some point, possibly leaving you with a wet basement, damaged items, mold growth, and foundation damage.
So, how does a sump pump system work? When might you need one? And how do we install a sump pump in your basement? We have all the answers below.
What Are AquaStop™ Sump Pumps?
The AquaStop™ Basement Sump Pump System collects water from an interior drainage system and removes it from your home, preventing flooding and structural damage. We can install this system in your basement in a few simple steps.
AquaStop™ sump pumps contain multiple elements: a water alarm, sump liner, airtight lid, and super-strong cast iron pumps. With regular maintenance, this system helps keep your basement dry!
When Do You Need a Basement Sump Pump System?
We recommend installing a sump pump system in your basement if you recognize any of these problem signs:

Sump Pump FAQs
A sump pump system moves water in a sump basin from your basement to the outside of your home, protecting you against water damage. When water reaches a certain level, the system pumps excess water via a discharge line away from your property. We can install a sump pump at the lowest point of your basement in a few steps.
Groundworks can visit your home and provide a custom estimate for a sump pump system based on your property’s size and needs. We can also give you a quote for a more comprehensive basement waterproofing solution, helping you keep your entire basement dry and safe.
We recommend having your sump pump inspected at least once a year through our maintenance program. Our technicians will clean your sump pump, cycle and flush the system, change the alarm batteries, and much more.
