Abalon Foundation Repair’s highly skilled estimators will design the right sump pump system for your project. We have a specially designed pit to maximize the collection of water and will install a sump pump system on time, on budget and to your complete satisfaction.
Sump systems are a collection point where water can be collected and then pumped out to a required area.
Sump pump systems are typically used in homes and buildings to collect water from a drainage system (such as weeping tile), trenches or simply to collect water under a concrete slab. What sets Abalon Foundation Repair apart is our ability to take all of the pertaining information, including the way the building was engineered, constructed, and behaving into account before a very specific design of your sump system is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a sump pump that goes off every 10 minutes when it’s raining. It’s in the middle of my basement in a 5-gallon bucket. When I look in my sewer clean out I can see that it is full of water, what’s wrong?
Your sump pump system should be next to your sewer line clean out against the exterior wall. It sounds like your pit is not deep enough. Additionally, the pit should be a proper sump pump pit that includes a lid to keep kids and things out.
I own a home in Calgary in the community of Edgemont. My house does not have weeping tile. When it rains for several days I can see water coming out the sewer line cleanout box and it floods my basement floor. What do I need to do?
It sounds like water is coming in via the sewer line trench. A sump pump system installed next to the cleanout box is most likely all you need.
