ECP Sealed Drainage System Keeps Basements Dry
At ECP, we don’t just supply partner contractors with a handful of basement waterproofing materials. Instead, we provide a fully integrated, sealed drainage system designed to deliver superior waterproofing performance and peace of mind for homeowners.
Our interior waterproofing products work seamlessly together, providing your clients with a long-lasting solution to basement water problems.
Our Sealed Drainage System Components
Pro Series Sump Pumps
Built for Strength, Efficiency and Sustainability
As the name suggests, Pro Series sump pumps are not the kind you’d find at a big-box home improvement store. Designed specifically for contractors, these industrial-strength pumps deliver robust performance for residential applications.
Available through authorized dealers like ECP, Pro Series sump pumps also lead the way in green technology and energy efficiency. This means homeowners can save on utility costs while enjoying reliable, long-term protection against water intrusion.

The ECP Sump Basin
Maximize Sump Pump Lifespan with High-Capacity Design
Working in tandem with the Pro Series sump pump, ECP’s sump basin not only stores water until it is pumped outside by the sump pump, but it also can help extend the life of the sump pump.
That’s because its innovative, bell-shaped design can hold more water than a standard sump basin. More capacity means fewer cycles. Fewer cycles means less wear and tear on the pump.
Constructed from impact-resistant polyethylene, our Sump Pump Pit is built for durability and safety, giving homeowners peace of mind.

Water Channel and Perforated Drain Pipe
Directing Water Away, Safely and Effectively
To keep basements dry, water needs an efficient path to the sump basin. ECP’s water channel and perforated drain pipe form a reliable conduit, directing water away from basement walls and foundation.
- Water Channel: The channel’s dimpled surface creates a gap between the footing and slab, forming a route for water from weep holes at the base of the basement walls.
- Perforated Drain Pipe: Made from rigid PVC, the pipe is installed along the footing around the perimeter of the home, directing water to the sump basin. Its durable construction provides strength during installation and reliable performance thereafter.
Additional Accessories
ECP also offers a range of accessories to support a complete installation, including rubber gaskets to block water vapor and soil gases and secure connectors for an airtight seal between the pipe and sump basin.
