Case Study: Prevent Basement Flooding with E/One Grinder Pumps

The October issue of Pumps & Systems magazine features a case study about basement flood prevention using E/One grinder pumps.

Basement flooding caused by sewer backups is damaging, expensive and a common occurrence in towns across the United States. Especially susceptible are low-lying properties.

A common approach for preventing basement flooding is the installation of a backflow prevention valve system. A backflow prevention valve system is a mechanical device installed on the 4-inch outlet pipe between the building and the mainline sewer. While offering some protection from sewage flowing back into private property, when the device is activated in the closed position, wastewater from the property cannot be discharged. Toilets, sinks, showers, washers, dishwashers or any appliance that discharges wastewater should not be used. 

The grinder pump station allows water to be used inside the home while prevented backflow from the sewer system.
