Discharge Line Protection in Alabama

A frozen or clogged sump pump discharge line is the top reason a basement floods during the winter months. When plows push snow against the outlet lines on the road, the water in the line that is coming from your gutters and sump pump has nowhere to go but back into your basement. This eventually floods the sump pump basin and ultimately your basement. This means costly damage and the loss of precious valuables and belongings stored in your basement because you didn’t have proper discharge line protection in place.

However, a frozen, broken, or clogged discharge line doesn’t have to mean a flooded basement or crawl space. A Freeze Relief device is a simple solution for discharge line protection. The Freeze Relief is installed on the outside of the home where the sump pump line exits and joins the discharge line. Once installed, it allows water pumped from the sump pump to exit through slots in the device, thus providing the ultimate in frozen or clogged discharge line protection. We recommend having a Freeze Relief to all our customers, especially for those who are installing an interior waterproofing system or having a sump pump replacement.

Installing a Freeze Relief device is simple, but choosing a company that understands Alabama’s unique weather patterns and does it right matters more.
