This week, our Haverford homeowners were thankful they owned a Haverford home for the following reasons:
Our Haverford designed sump pumps pits are twice the size of regular builder installed sump pits.
We install 2 sump pumps in each one. The first one runs on regular
electricity. The second one runs on a transformer that needs no battery and no electricity. Therefore, it will run the backup sump pump when the power is out forever. Our homeowners’ basements will be protected from rising water from excessive rains.
You will notice that the basement slab in the mechanical room is built 4 inches
below the basement grade. This is done to absorb any water which may come about from the water heater failing or if both sump pumps fail mechanically, which has yet not happened. Again, you will have another layer of protection against a wet basement.
Finally, our basement walls are built with steel framing and the lower half is drywalled with Green Board (similar to the ones used behind the ceramic in bathrooms) to avoid any mold on those areas.
Our customers have made a good choice by purchasing a quality Haverford Home and we thank them very much.
