Scientist helps get a handle on wildfires Travis Paterson News Staff

Steve Taylor can’t predict where the wildfires are coming but he does his best to predict the number of fires, and how they’ll burn. The research scientist’s work is heavily relied upon this time of year as B.C. and other parts of Canada face the threat of wildfires now more than ever. Taylor started at the Canadian Forestry Centre on West Burnside in 1985, following his graduation from Mount Douglas secondary and the University of Victoria. He’s carried on a legacy of forest fire research at the CFC that first started when

it was built 50 years ago in 1965. “Forest fire research has been around in Canada since the 1930s but of course it’s changed,” Taylor said. His work helps the Canadian Fire Resource Demand System, an interprovinical network, decide what resources to share, such as firefighters, equipment and aircraft. “They need to make decisions everyday, asking do we need more firefighters, or can we afford to lend some elsewhere,” Taylor said. Right now Taylor is involved in an ongoing model predicting the expected amount of forest fires by province, always looking two weeks ahead.

For the weekend of July 31 to Aug. 3, for example, his model expected between 17 and 20 wild fires would spark in B.C. due to lightning alone. As of the end of July, there were 62 active wildfires in B.C., 46 of which were classified as “limited action,” meaning they were not being fought. “It’s not unheard of to see a single lightning storm create 100 fires over a few days. The record in B.C. from one lightning storm is 400 fires.” A big component of what Taylor does is understanding how a fire will behave depending on the conditions of the site. “If you have a fire in a particular kind of forest and certain weather conditions are

expected, fires are generally active in the afternoon and less active at night. There is a daily cycle depending on the variation of temperature, humidity, windspeed, as it’s cooler and humid at 6 a.m., with a peak temperature at 4 p.m.” Based on that, firefighters will try to exploit a fire’s weakness by getting more work done before the peak period, which includes overnight. “Of course you can get fires burning well overnight, but anything helps,” he added. There are about 25 people working in wildfire research across Canada, while here in Saanich Taylor relies on the support of economists, statisticians, programmers and IT to get his work out.

Festival promises plenty of fun in the sun Sand sculptures return for Cadboro Bay Festival Dan Ebenal News Staff

It wouldn’t be a beach without sand. But the 60 tons being trucked to Cadboro Bay isn’t what you’d find on your typical day at the beach. The 60 tons of sand will be transformed into some astonishing creations just in time for Sunday’s Cadboro Bay Festival at Gyro Park. “There’s going to be at least four [sculptures] and maybe a fifth,” said main sand sculptor Fred Dobbs, adding the theme of the sculptures will be based on the disaster movie series Sharknado. “We’ve got this big water funnel we’re planning to sculpt with sharks in it.” Dobbs and his crew of seven sand sculptors will get to work on their creations Friday, compacting the sand that is delivered into form boxes. “Then we strip away the wooden forms and we carve the hard, densely packed sand,” said Dobbs, adding they will be putting the finishing touches on the sculptures in time to awe the crowds on hand for Sunday afternoon’s festival. Dobbs just wrapped up the sand sculpting competition in Parksville and has created sand sculptures in South Korea and Kuwait over the past year. Dobbs got his start in sand

Professional sand artists will create a Sharknado sculpture for this year’s festival Sunday. sculpting in Ireland when he was just five years old. “My dad one day buried me on the beach up to my chest in sand and he proceeded to carve me in a sand convertible car,” he said. “So at the tender age of five I was in a car sculpting the steering wheel out of sand.” It was the late ’80s when Dobbs’ interest in sand sculpting got serious when he became

involved with a competition in White Rock. From there he travelled up and down the coast taking part in competitions until he was asked to turn pro. “So I quit my real job and I got an unreal job as a sand sculptor,” said Dobbs, who more recently began making his artistic creations out of bronze. But the sand isn’t the only place where you’ll find action

during the festival running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be live entertainment throughout the day, with Russell in the Bushes taking the stage at 11 a.m., followed by The O’Briens at 12:30 p.m. and Shaky Ground rounding things out at 1:45 p.m. “We have quite a mixture of kids activities,” said Saanich community events co-ordinator

Rob Phillips. “There will be lots of hands-on displays and activities where kids can learn a little bit about the community.” One of the new activities this year will be giant inflatable hamster balls. “You get inside and there’s a course that you roll down,” said Phillips. Another new event is the Fisheye Project, which will see divers turn their cameras on some of the marine life found in Cadboro Bay. “There’s going to be a live feed up to the beach area so you can actually see what the divers are seeing down in the water.” Even the food promises to have something for every taste. “We’ve got your traditional burgers and hotdogs but we also have Greek, Mexican and Persian food that will also be on site,” said Phillips. But the biggest draw for the festival might be Gyro Park itself. “It’s probably our most picturesque park in Saanich. There’s been several renovations to the playground area and it’s our best beach within Saanich, so that alone is a big part of the event.” Thousands are expected to flock to Gyro Park for the festival, with the parking lots expected to quickly reach capacity. “We do have a shuttle bus service once the parking lots get full,” said Phillips. “We have a shuttle that runs from 12-4 from lot 5 at UVic so you can avoid all the crowds down in the park.” editor@saanichnews.com

Police pursuit closes Pat Bay Highway for six hours Driver tried twice to ram Saanich squad car Travis Paterson News Staff

The pursuit and arrest of a dangerous driver by Saanich Police resulted in the closure of southbound lanes along the Patricia Bay Highway south of McKenzie Avenue due to an investigation early Tuesday morning . The closures created severe delays for

Saanich drivers. Police pursuits are less common in 2015 but this driver, a 47-year-old Saanich man, met the threshold as it was deemed he was about to commit an indictable offence or cause harm to a person based on his behaviour, said Saanich Police Sgt. John Price. “The suspect is not known to police, or well known to police, but it does turn out he has a medical history though he wasn’t on our radar for any previous contacts.” The man is facing a number of criminal charges including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assaulting a police officer

with a weapon and initiate police pursuit. Highway 17 was closed for six hours, from the McKenzie Avenue overpass to Carey Road as Saanich Police crash analysts conducted their investigation. “For now the suspect is committed as a ward of the hospital, under guard of Saanich Police,” Price said. “The belief and the hope is he won’t be released if he’s a risk.” The incident started at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, when Saanich patrol officers observed a grey Mercury Grand Marquis, with B.C. plates, exit from the rear parking lot of Pearkes Arena. The officer observed

the lone male driver acting suspicious and observed suspicious driving behaviour. The vehicle was followed along Tillicum Road through the intersection of Burnside Road when the driver stopped for no apparent reason, blocking the centre lane of Tillicum. The driver of the suspicious vehicle then accelerated away from the officer at a high rate of speed, spinning his car’s tires. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle by activating his vehicle’s emergency lights and siren. PLEASE SEE: Driver sustained only minor injuries, Page A4

Driver sustained only minor injuries Continued from Page A3

The vehicle travelled south on Highway 1, before stopping abruptly and then reversing at a high rate of speed towards the Saanich Police car in pursuit. The officer reversed his police car in order to avoid the suspect hitting his car. At that point, the officer disengaged with the suspect vehicle and parked his vehicle on the side of the highway, only to have the suspect do a U-turn and head directly for the now stopped police vehicle. The officer took evasive action with his car to prevent the suspect’s second attempt at ramming him. A few minutes later, Saanich Police received a 911 call, where the caller observed the driver and vehicle. According to the caller, the suspect was threatening to kill someone. Saanich officers were able to locate the vehicle that was now travelling north on Quadra Street. Officers re-engaged a pursuit and the suspect was stopped in the southbound lanes of Highway 17 near Carey Road, across from the Saanich Fire Station, when a police officer used his vehicle to stop the suspect from colliding with or forcing two civilian vehicles off the highway. Eventually the Saanich man was apprehended following a pursuit that resulted in the closure of the southbound lanes of Highway 17. With the help of a Saanich Canine Unit and after a brief struggle, the driver was arrested under protocol of the Mental Health Act, meaning he is under the care of the staff at the Victoria Jubilee Hospital. The driver sustained only minor injuries and no officers were injured during the incident.

Swimmers go to great lengths Dan Ebenal News Staff

After putting her body through hell for more than 48 hours and falling just shy of a space in the record books, Alex Cape isn’t spending any time wondering about what might have been. Cape and Susan Simmons set out last Friday afternoon to conquer three lengths of Cowichan Lake, a 105-kilometre swim expected to take 50 hours. “We faced some pretty ugly waves right off the bat on Friday afternoon. Susan was feeling nauseous and not holding any food down,” said Cape. The physical exertion and choppy water eventually took their toll on Simmons, who pulled out after 44 km, but Cape kept on going. She made up a lot of ground on the calm waters early Saturday morning, but the winds picked up again Saturday afternoon. “We faced nine hours of brutal waves coming right at us, three and four-foot waves. We were just getting pummelled,” said Cape, who grew up in Saanich and now lives just over the municipal boundary in Victoria. Sleep depravation may have been the only thing keeping Cape from packing it in. “I think if I had been a bit more lucid, I would have been demoralized.” But Cape soldiered on, getting encouragement from her support crew, which by this point now included Simmons urging her on from a kayak as well as joining her in the water. “I was just there to make sure she didn’t go under and to help her keep her focus,” said Simmons, a Victoria resident who works and trains in Saanich. “I couldn’t have done it without her,” said Cape. But as Saturday night turned into Sunday morning the waves picked up again and Case was struggling and was hallucinating. “There were some times I was pretty desperate and suffering. I was hearing stuff and then I realized it was me, I was whimpering because I was so cold.” In order to have a marathon swim count, a swimmer must enter and exit the water under their own power. At 94 kilometres into her journey, Cape’s support crew suggested she

But earning a spot in the record book isn’t what started Cape on this journey. It was Simmons battle with MS and her decision to swim across Cowichan Lake two years ago. The pair returned last year to swim across the lake and back. The reason behind the three swims was to help Simmons get across her message for those with MS. “Her message is you don’t have to get the diagnosis and give up on life. You can still manage the disease,” said Cape, adding that message was expanded this year. “Everybody is valuable. We wanted to say to everybody and anybody, get outside and do something.” The pair were joined on the start of their swim by Special Olympic athlete Aly White. “She had a goal to swim five kilometres and she swam 6.5 so she did great,” said Simmons. The pair are accepting donations for the MS Society of Vancouver Island and Special Olympics Victoria. You can still contribute at swimmerslastlonger.com. editor@saanichnews.com

Landscape adapts to a changing climate Travis Paterson News Staff

With the anticipated shift to a warmer, drier climate on the South Island, residents are planting their yards and gardens with a mind for the future. “We’re seeing people who want to convert their lawn from grass to a native landscape that will demand less water and maintenance,” said Kristen Miskelly, co-owner of Saanich Native Plants at Haliburton Farm. Kristen and her partner James have a half-acre plot where they grow dozens of native plants and are developing a seed bank to offer. They recommend a variety of food and non food-bearing plants, which they mostly sell to conservancy agencies for restoration, as well as the District of Saanich. On a bigger scale, trees such as the western red cedar are already ailing throughout Greater Victoria due to the droughtlike conditions of the past two summers. The cedar is among a group of trees and plants which are expected to suffer as the conditions repeat themselves in the future. However, many of the native plants that thrived here prior to European arrival date back to a time when the climate was warmer and drier. Which is why Habitat Acquisition Trust is encouraging

Travis Paterson/News Staff

James and Kristen Miskelly own and operate Saanich Native Plants out of Haliburton Farm. They’re seeing a growing trend of homeowners converting their lawns to something similar to the native Garry oak ecosystem with plants such as the edible nodding onion James is holding, or the larger Indian plum Kristen is holding. residents to plant for tomorrow. “It’s difficult to predict just what’s coming but we can expect more extended periods of drought and wet winters with severe winter storm conditions,” said Jill Robinson, stewardship co-ordinator with the Habitat Acquisition Trust. “It takes a few years to transition from plants that need water to plants that can sustain extended dry periods,”

she added. “We’re encouraging people to transfer lawns to Garry oak meadows, which are dormant in summer but vibrant in the winter.” Water usage is already a hotly contested topic. In Vancouver, for example, well-to-do homes have been the subject of online lawnshaming, where photos of homes with lush green grass have been shared through social media for clearly abusing the temporary

watering ban. Meanwhile, the Sooke Lake Reservoir is expected to fall below 80 per cent capacity this week. Watering restrictions are creeping in despite the fact the Capital Regional District expects the fall rains will replenish the reservoir before it dips to a level of concern. Regardless of the Sooke reservoir’s health, the reality is the non-native, water-loving

grass that most of us grew up on is now a target. Municipalities are moving away from planting grass for that very reason. And landscapers, as well as agencies such as HAT, are suggesting native grasses and shrubs instead. “Garry oaks are the big example of trees the can survive in the climate we expect,” said Robinson. So are arbutus, Douglas fir and Pacific dogwood, as well as fruit-bearing trees choke cherry and Indian plum, all of which are native. The latter two are midsize trees ideal for smaller yards, which also include shore pine, western yew, black hawthorne (not English hawthorne, which is invasive) and cascara, all maxing out at about 10 to 20 feet in height. “There’s so many, but a few that we recommend, especially in an urban setting, are ocean spray, Oregon grape, red-flowering currant, snowberry, Saskatoon berry, hairy manzanita, among others.” To get the word out, Robinson and HAT engage with local schools through the Green Sports program, which uses hands-on experiential learning (planting) to teach about the native plants. They also install bat boxes, built by inmates of the provincial detention centre on Wilkinson Road.

Tigers claw way to provincial Junior B lacrosse title Travis Paterson News Staff

For the second time in three years the Saanich Tigers are the provincial Junior B lacrosse champions. After going undefeated in the three-game round robin, beating the New Westminster Salmonbellies 8-6,

Kamloops Venom 13-8 and Westshore Bears 10-9, the Tigers defeated a strong New Westminster Salmonbellies side 6-5 in the gold-medal final. It’s the second provincial title since the Saanich Tigers were reborn five years ago under the leadership of

general manager Chris Jackson. “I learned a long time ago from a great lacrosse mind, Jim Gow, that it’s not about getting the most talented players – don’t get me wrong talent helps – it’s about getting players with heart, who play for the guy beside them and have each

other’s back on the floor and in life, and that’s how we roll around here,” Jackson said. The Tigers went 12-1 to win the three-team Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League this year, dropping one game to the rival Westshore Bears. Cowichan was unable

to field a team this year but the league continues on. “It’s a pretty good little program we’ve got running here,” Jackson said. Tigers goalie Tanner Hodgson was named tournament MVP and is the “blood that kept the heart of the Tigers beating” this year with timely saves, Jackson added. “I think Tanner will be drafted into the Western Lacrosse Association in the next draft. Now that he’s graduated, he’s clearly the top goalie in the province that isn’t on a WLA roster.” It wouldn’t be the

first time, as current Victoria Shamrocks WLA defender Ethan Garland was drafted from the Tigers after he helped the club win the 2013 provincial title. The Tigers were led by a crew of graduating players including captain Scott Slym and assistant captains Derek Mcleod, Sam Tschitter, Connor Neuman and Aiden Paike. The Tigers also benefited from some “superstar youngsters” a group of 16-year-old call ups from the Int. B team, including backup goalie Dakota

Kasper and runners Cole Christiaens and Wilson Gurney. “As 16-year-olds playing against 19 and 20-year-olds, these kids never missed a beat, they’re going to be great lacrosse players.” Parksville’s Tanner Jones put up big minutes as a rookie and, with second-year Jordan Green, showed as much skill and talent as on any Junior A roster. Coaches Bud Vandemeer and Brett Carter got the most of the team and knew how to press the right buttons at the right time, Jackson said.

Locals play role in Rocks’ golden run A core of Claremont secondary school students helped the Victoria Intermediate A Shamrocks win gold at the B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League provincial championships over the B.C. Day weekend. The Shamrocks opened the three-game round robin with a 9-7 loss to the Coquitlam Adanacs but rebounded with a 9-4 win over the New Westminster Salmonbellies, and an 18-7 win over the Langley

Thunder, to set up a spot in the final. The offence was strong again in the final, beating New West 14-7 for gold. Among the Claremont contingent on the Shamrocks are captain Marshal King (Drexel University 2015), as well as the provincial high school MVP Brad McCulley (Robert Morris University/2016), and defender David Byrne (Drexel University 2015).

SAANICH SAANICH NEWS NEWS -- Friday, Friday, August August 7, 7, 2015 2015

Catching the wave in a Fiat 500 When was the last time another motorist waved at you because you were driving a similar make and model as theirs? A couple of weeks ago? Months? Never? Most wouldn’t even consider acknowledging the presence of other cars in the same category with a friendly hand gesture. I mean, if you drive a Toyota Corolla, your hands would rarely be on the steering wheel! Then again, there are few breeds of cars that foster such responses. One is the Fiat 500. Not once, not twice, but thrice did I have random 500 owners wave at me in commuting situations. At first I was confused, and awkwardly waved back. Then it became commonplace so I just rode the wave, so to speak. Despite having a mini-compact designation, you can spot these adorable Italian creations from miles away. It did help that the 2015 Fiat 500 Turbo I was captaining came clad in a very nationalistic robe. Red, white and green racing stripes adorned the hood, roof and rear of the hatchback. It’s not for everyone but that’s the beauty of the Fiats. There are so many ways in which you can personalize them (there are 15 exterior colours to choose from, not to mention countless ways in which you can dress them up), and unless you’re getting a black-

DrivewayCanada.ca | on-black vehicle, chances are, you might not see another like it in your area. Another beauty of this vehicle is its versatility. Sure, it’s small but it actually can do a lot with what it has been given. For example, there’s room for four inside, as well as 269 litres of trunk space. Kick out your rear passengers, fold down the seats, and you have even more space with which to work. So much so that I was able to fit my road bicycle inside. OK,

I had to take off the front wheel, but I have been in coupes much bigger than the 500 and didn’t have the same luxury. Then there’s the engine. Its humble 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque being produced from its 1.4L, MultiAir Turbo fourcylinder might look mediocre on paper, but it brings this car to life. And of the three available engines offered, the base, naturally aspirated 1.4L MultiAir, the Turbo, or the Turbo from the

Abarth version (160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque), the 500 Turbo (middle child of engines) is my top pick. It is spirited, peppy and makes driving fun. It’s enough horsepower to play with, but not enough to get into too much trouble. Adding to the fun factor is the introduction of an all-new Aisin heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. A manual lover to the core, I quite liked the new addition to the fold. It also took

the edge off in urban commuting. And for the times when you want a little more gusto, there’s a “Sport” mode. You’ll find this magical button on the instrument panel. What it does is change the throttle mapping for improved engine responsiveness. While I love the car as a whole, I still have a couple of quibbles with it. The instrument panel (with the push buttons and all) looks archaic and is a headache to work with. Furthermore, the optional navigation also sits atop the dash, which eats up prime real estate with it comes to forward visibility. And it looks misplaced. But for the reasons I wrestle with the Fiat 500 Turbo, there are plenty more favourable features that put me at ease. The optional Beats stereo system sounds great in the cabin, the leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and shift knob feel nice between my fingers and the optional red leather seats make the interior pop. Then there’s the drivability. I love its competency in corners. It handles much like a decked out go-kart but doesn’t give you same kinds of aches and pains. The Fiat 500 Turbo Hatchback has a starting MSRP of $21,395. But with all the options, the price as tested comes out to $30,370. Visit www.fiatcanada.com for more information.

Saanich’s Ryan Cochrane won his first medal in the men’s 400-metre freestyle with a time of 3:44.59 at the FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia, a first for a Canadian in that event. It is Cochrane’s seventh medal from the world championships, the most all-time by a Canadian. “It wasn’t the best time but it’s nice to get on the podium. That’s what I’ve worked for 10 years in this event is to try to grab a medal,” said Cochrane, competing at his fifth world championships. The 26-year-old has seen his results in the event progress from 18th in 2007, to seventh in 2009, to fifth in 2011 and fourth in 2013. “It was great to see Ryan get his first world championship medal in the 400 free and it’s a big step for him,” said Ryan Mallette, Swimming Canada’s head coach of the Saanich-based High Performance Centre. “It’s a culmination of a lot of years of work starting with [former coach Randy $ Bennett who recently away] obviously $ $ passed and with the fantastic team that we have in Victoria. They work hard every day and they all had a part in this.” Cochrane holds two Olympic and three world championship medals in the 1,500, including silver at the 2012 Olympics and 2013 worlds. Cochrane now turns his focus at the FINA World Championships to the 1,500m, his $ specialty, with heats set for Saturday in the $ $ longest distance.

Sometimes in the dog days of summer, I’d be sunning on the deck and suddenly feel a presence nearby. A stick would land at my fingertips. Moments later, I’d feel a greater presence and look up to see Magic’s black face within inches of mine. Just staring at me, ready, waiting. But back to dress up. Dexter so loved the activity, one day he decided to do it all on his own. There we were driving in Victoria, Dexter in his usual spot in the back of the station wagon, laying with some camping equipment we’d just picked up. Suddenly, he sat up with a dish rack firmly attached to the top of his head. We hooted with laughter. The girls in the backseat tried to pull it off, but it was stuck, and outside the car, fellow drivers and passengers joined in our amusement, laughing just as hard as us. It was a memorable moment, and makes me realize that without children in the house these days, our current dogs have never experienced doggie fashion. Hmmm. How would a dachshund look in a bikini?

Swimmers set to test the waters of the Gorge Gorge Swim Fest runs Sunday from noon to 4 Laura Lavin Black Press

With warm, dry weather over the last few months, more and more people are taking advantage of the cleanest, warmest and closest swimming hole in the region – the Gorge. To celebrate the waterway’s familyfriendly nature, the fourth annual Gorge Swim Fest takes place from noon to 4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 9 at Banfield Park in Vic West, Esquimalt Gorge Park and Curtis Point in Saanich. [Swimming in the Gorge] has been done probably for 140 years back,” said Gorge Swim Fest co-chair Jack Meredith. “In the 1800s the Gorge swimming hole was a vacation spot for people. Back then it was the outskirts of town. People used to flock to it, there’s tons of pictures from the 1800s with people lining the shores for swimming races and picnics.” After the Crystal Pool was built, outdoor swimming fell out of fashion

Meredith is helping organize this year’s Gorge Swimfest, which aims to encourage people to use the Gorge Waterway as a swimming recreation area, as it was a century ago. was not great,” said Meredith. It was only through the “heroic efforts” of environmental advocate John Roe, who prompted the cleanup of the waterway in

the 1990s, that the Gorge began to earn a new reputation. “Through a variety of efforts they held an open water race from the Tillicum Bridge to the Empress and back,” he said. The 10-kilometre race celebrated the return of regular swimming in the Gorge. After the turn of this century, the yearly swim fests faded away until Meredith, a frequent Gorge swimmer, and a few friends resurrected it in 2012. “This is not the original swim fest, it’s the new, new swim fest – the latest wave of Gorge swim fest-ers,” he said. Meredith has noticed an increase in swimmers using the Gorge and wants to encourage everyone to come out and see what they’re missing. In addition to swimming, the Gorge Swim Fest includes games, crafts, Esquimalt Lions’ concession, music and food trucks at the Banfield Park and Esquimalt Gorge Park locations. “There’s no music or food trucks at Curtis Point,” said Meredith. “You just swim off the rocks there – I can’t tell you how many people tell me it’s their secret swimming hole.” For more information go to gorgeswimfest.ca.

Sumps too often overlooked in homes Sump pumps the heart of drainage system Travis Paterson News Staff

Severe winter storms are said to be a regular occurrence in the South Island’s future, and the threat of increased power outages should be a warning for all basement homeowners to ensure their sump pump is in top shape. “Every time there’s a power outage we get one or two calls from homeowners about a [nonfunctioning] sump,” said Chris Schmidt of Island Basement Systems. The company is based out of Prospect Lake in Saanich and services the entire Island, with three separate crews. They install more than 200 sumps per year. Schmidt said that most

homeowners are aware of their sump pumps but there’s some, surprisingly, that are oblivious to its importance, usually newer home owners, Schmidt said. The biggest problems Schmidt sees are inadequate pumps, which he calls the do-it-yourself special, as well as maintenance issues. “The No. 1 issue we see is an inadequate pump, usually a lowcost, do-it-yourself installation that’s typically not reliable,” he said. “What you don’t want to see on a sump system is an open pit, where all the humidity and smells get out and into the house. Quite often we see open, nasty pits that haven’t been maintained for years.” It’s not uncommon that homeowners have bought a house and ignore the inspection report that mentions a sump in need of attention, or that the inspection report has overlooked the weakness of the sump system. Sumps should be well sealed with an air-tight lid, ideally with the sump sitting in a plastic basin

For the do-it-yourselfers with a perforated base out there, Schmidt’s that allows water under advice is to make sure it’s the sump to drain into it, cleaned and maintained. Schmidt said. Sumps can also be “Look at it this way, the subject to power failures. sump pump is the heart “If your home has of an interior drainage regular power failures, system, so if it’s a crappy you have to calculate, is sump, the system isn’t it going to cost more than going to last that long.” $1,000 to put in a backup Maintenance, cleaning Chris Schmidt battery for the sump? and replacing the Because it’s going to cost at least machines is the other area he says $1,000 if it stops working.” is often overlooked. About five to 10 per cent of his “We’ll see pumps that have been Island Basement Systems clients working fine but they aren’t being call back later to install a battery cleaned out [semi regularly] or backup. they’re sitting in dirt, so obviously reporter@saanichnews.com dirt gets into the pump.”

The difference between a good sump pump and a bad one (inset) is clearly evident.
