What is sump pump installation?
A sump pump collects water from a drainage system and moves it away from the foundation. Installation can include a new basin, pump, discharge line, alarm, and optional backup power depending on the property.
Existing pumps should be assessed for basin condition, float operation, discharge routing, and backup capability rather than replaced blindly.
Signs you need sump pump
Pump runs constantly
Frequent cycling can indicate a high water flow, undersized pump, or drainage issue.
No backup power
Storms can create both water and power problems at the same time.
Older noisy pump
Noise or unreliable starting should be checked before the next heavy rain.
No sump basin
A new basin may be part of creating a complete interior drainage route.

Do I need a battery backup?
A backup is strongly recommended if your pump runs regularly or if outages are common in your area. The City of Toronto subsidy program also offers up to $300 toward a backup.
How long does a sump pump last?
Most pedestal and submersible pumps last roughly 5–10 years depending on how often they run. We can check an older pump during an inspection.
Can you replace just the pump?
Yes. If your existing basin is in good shape we can swap the pump and check the discharge line without redoing the basin.
