Sump Pump System for Basement Waterproofing

A sump pump is the heart of your basement or crawl space waterproofing system. Without a reliable pump, your entire system can fail, leaving your home vulnerable to flooding and water damage. Choosing the right sump pump is crucial, especially in areas with heavy rain or high groundwater levels.

At SouthernDry, we install the Workhorse Sump Pump System, a state-of-the-art, high-performance pump designed to protect your home. The Workhorse is engineered to handle larger volumes of water than standard sump pumps, ensuring your basement stays dry even during the heaviest storms.

A sump pump isn’t just part of your waterproofing; it’s the heart of it. Without the right system, all that water your drainage lines collect has nowhere to go. That’s when basements flood, crawl spaces rot, and homeowners are left cleaning up damage that could’ve been prevented.

The Workhorse is built differently.

It moves twice as much water as most standard pumps, keeping your basement dry even during high water tables or back-to-back storms. Its components are heavy-duty, energy-efficient, and built to thrive in real-world conditions, not just lab specs.

Don’t wait for disaster to reveal these dangerous pump inadequacies:

Immediate Failure Risks

• An undersized pump that can’t handle heavy water volume during storms
• Single pump system with no backup protection if the primary fails
• No battery backup leaves you vulnerable during power outages
• Cycling excessively indicates motor stress and impending failure
• Strange noises or irregular operation suggesting internal damage

Hidden Vulnerabilities

• Inadequate horsepower for your home’s water infiltration levels
• Cheap plastic components that crack under pressure
• No alarm system to warn of pump failure or water level rise
• Poor basin design allows debris to clog the system
• Insufficient discharge capacity creates pressure buildup

Environmental Threats

• Power grid failures during severe weather, when pumps are needed most
• Pump motor burnout from overwork during extended rain events
• Mechanical failure from age, debris, or manufacturing defects
• Overwhelmed capacity when water volume exceeds pump capabilities

The Workhorse is a high-quality, heavy-duty, and energy-efficient pumping system built for basement and crawl space waterproofing. Its advanced features work together to provide complete protection.

• High-Volume Pump: The Workhorse can pump more water than other standard systems, providing superior protection against flooding.
• Durable Basin and Lid: Our sturdy, high-volume basin has an airtight lid that keeps moisture and odors contained, preventing them from entering your home. It’s also resistant to rust, rot, and mold growth.
• Sump Pump Battery Backup: Our top-tier system includes a battery backup that keeps your pump working during power outages or when the primary pump is overwhelmed by heavy flows. This ensures your home stays dry no matter what.

The most powerful sump pump means nothing if the power goes out.

That’s why we offer our Workhorse OT system, “OT” for overtime. It includes a battery backup that activates automatically if your main pump loses power during a storm, blackout, or system failure.

This backup gives you uninterrupted protection when you need it most. Because your basement shouldn’t flood just because the lights flicker.

Choosing the right sump pump matters, but choosing the right company matters more.
