SafeDri™ Sump Pump

Sump pumps have come a long way in recent years, and they are better and more reliable than ever. However, old habits die hard, and there are still many old and outdated sump pump designs on the marketplace.

Plastic sump pumps can easily overheat, and even a simple design choice such as a screen on the pump intake can mean the difference between a clogged system and one that you can count on for years to come.

Finding a model that “has it all” (including power, reliability, and resistance to clogging) can be easier said than done!

At Baker’s Waterproofing, we’re proud to provide only the highest-quality cast-iron SafeDri™ sump pumps to our customers.

We offer free SafeDri™ sump pump estimates in the Western PA, Northern West Virginia, and Eastern Ohio area, including Pittsburgh, Morgantown, Clarksburg and nearby.

At Baker’s Waterproofing, we install the powerful SafeDri™ 330 and 500 models. Combined with our battery backup system, these pumps make for a powerhouse sump pump system that is up to the job of keeping your basement dry. Other models are available for unique circumstances.

SafeDri™ Pump Features:

• The SafeDri™ 330 pumps up to 2,220 gallons per hour at an 8′ head.
• The SafeDri™ 500 pumps up to 3,900 gallons per hour at an 8′ head.

(“Head” is how high the pump must send the water before it exits the home. A lower “head” means more gallons per hour, while a higher “head” will slightly reduce the gph.)

Our primary and secondary sump pump systems are designed with cast-iron SafeDri™ Sump Pumps. Unlike plastic sump pumps that often overheat and fail, cast-iron pumps transfer heat from the engine casing to the water outside. This naturally cools the sump pump motor during operation.

Our pumps are designed with the cast iron around the center of the pump, instead of only at the base. This, combined with the distinctive single-casing design, allows for a maximum in heat dispersion and pump life.

SafeDri™ Pump Features:

• Single engine casing design for maximum heat transfer
• Cast-iron core design for cooler operation

One of the most common weaknesses of sump pump systems is the float switch that turns on when the water rises. If this switch jams in an “off” or “on” position, it can lead to sump pump failure or sump pump burnout. The SafeDri™ sump pump switch includes several design elements that help prevent jamming.

SafeDri™ Pump Features:

• Locked-in sump pump arm that is not “free-floating”
• Solid, non-hollow plastic design prevents floating switch from filling with water.
• Mounted sump pump design keeps the pump from “wandering” due to vibration and jamming the sump switch against the edge of the sump liner.
