INNOVATION IS AT OUR CORE

The First Two-Way Sump Check Valve
Sump Check Valve
Released in the early 1970's, this check valve has been installed in millions of homes throughout the United States. The innovation is in the adapters, which accept both 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" pipe and in the valve body itself, which is designed for quiet operation.
The First Structural Foam Sump Basin
Sump Basin
Released in 1980, this sump basin changed the industry. For the first time, a basin was being made using an injection molding process that combines gas and resin into a finished product that is made of what is called structural foam. This innovative basin is lighter, stronger and less expensive than previous basins made of cast iron or fiberglass.

The Original Radon Sump Dome
The Original Radon Sump Dome
A classic example of improving upon an existing product. This cover's innovative design allows for a regular sump pump system to double as a passive radon mitigation system.
Pre-Plumbed Sewage Pump System
Sewage Pump System
Innovation comes in many forms and sometimes making a job easier is all it takes to turn a good product into a great product. This sewage pump system is pre-plumbed. All that is left to install is the check valve (included) and the pipe above the basin. Simply drop the system in the hole and make the connections.
THE FUTURE OF INNOVATION

2019 - Present
The First Sump Pump with PumpPegs
Sump Pump
A little innovation to solve a simple problem. Our sump pump includes pump pegs to be used for raising the pumps impeller above any possible debris or sediment in the bottom of the basin.
The First Telescopic Sump Basin
Sump Basin
Necessity is the mother of innovation. When we found out our basin was being cut in half so that it could fit through a crawl space door opening, we decided to cut it in half ourselves. Introducing the first sump basin that collapses into itself to fit through narrow openings and then telescopes into a full size basin in the sump pit.
