Frozen discharge lines can cause basement floods

Ice Guard discharge line extensionThe best sump pump in the world will not work without a proper discharge line. The water that the sump pump gets out of the basement must flow through them to be eliminated.

However, in some regions, cold winter weather may cause those discharge lines to freeze and completely clog.

As a result, when the water hits the clog, it begins to flow back into the sump pit, and the pump starts to recycle it, rather than simply pump it out.
That can lead to sump pump failure and consequently, to basement flood.

All these problems can be prevented with a simple and inexpensive attachment called IceGuard, developed by Basement Systems.  The Ice Guard will keep the water flowing when the discharge pipes freeze.
