Thinking Ahead With IceGuard™

Have you ever had a basement flood in the winter despite having a sump pump installed? When the snow and ice hit the last thing you want to have to worry about is a frozen discharge line causing you another headache. This is where the IceGuard™ Sump Pump Discharge Line System comes in.

 

What is the IceGuard™ Sump Pump Discharge Line System?

IceGuard™ is a patented system that provides a way for water to discharge from the sump pump even if the pipe or discharge line has frozen. 

 

How Does it Work?

This system is an automatic back up to the normal discharge line. There is nothing the homeowner needs to do for it to work, besides have it installed. When below freezing temps begin to linger, pipes can easily freeze. In this case water will disperse out of the perforated edges of the IceGuard™. When the normal discharge line thaws out, water will resume escaping through there. Its that simple.

Why Do I Need This?

IceGuard™  is beneficial for many reasons:

 

1. The IceGuard™ SumpPump Discharge Line System allows a way for water to exit even in ice or snow. There could be a blizzard blowing, and this system will still work even when covered. 

2. This system is an automatic hands-free approach. This means you don't have to do anything for it to work. There is no magic button or knob that you have to remember to press when the temperatures start to drop. Talk about a headache-free solution!

3. IceGuard™ prevents your basement from flooding even with a frozen discharge line. Pipes often freeze in the winter. This system provides a solution to mitigate problems that arise from cold temperatures, allowing your sump pump to discharge whenever needed. 

4. Perhaps the biggest benefit of all is: peace of mind. You can rest assured that this system will help protect your home and keep your products running smoothly, even when its below freezing. 

 

Why Now?

You may be thinking, its summertime. Why should I be thinking about this now? Well, as we in the northern climates know, Winter likes to sneak up on us. Its better to be prepared ahead of time before a disaster occurs than be wishing systems were already in place while you try to take care of the water in your basement when its 10 degrees out. 

A flooded basement is a problem no one wants to have. But a flooded basement in the dead of Winter is a nightmare.
