Sump Pump Installation & Repair

A sump pump only has one job — and when it fails, the result is a flooded basement. We install, repair, and maintain sump pump systems so yours is ready when it matters most.

Overview

Your basement's last line of defence, done right

Sump pumps are the kind of equipment nobody thinks about — until a heavy storm hits, the power flickers, and the basement starts to flood. We install new systems sized correctly for your home and water table, repair pumps that are failing or running constantly, and replace units that have reached the end of their service life.

One of the most common and most preventable failure points is a power outage during the exact kind of storm that causes flooding. That is why we install battery backup systems alongside primary pumps — so your basement stays protected even if the power goes out at 3am during a downpour.

If your existing pump is making unusual noises, running far more than it should, or simply old enough that you are not sure it will work when you need it, it is worth having it checked before the next big storm — not after your basement has already taken on water.

Most sump pump failures happen during the exact storms that cause flooding. A battery backup is one of the most cost-effective safeguards you can add.
Our Process

How It Works

Straightforward, no-surprise service from the first call to the final test.

1

Assess Your Setup

We evaluate your basement, water table, and existing system to determine the right pump size and configuration.

2

Install Or Repair

We install a new system or repair the existing one — including the pump, check valve, and discharge line — so everything works together.

3

Add Backup Protection

Where it makes sense, we install a battery backup so your basement stays protected even during a power outage.

4

Test Under Real Conditions

We test the system through an actual cycle, confirming it activates, drains, and shuts off exactly as it should.

Common Questions

Sump Pump Questions, Answered

What York Region homeowners ask about basement flooding and pump protection.

How do I know if my sump pump needs repair or replacement? +
Warning signs include unusual noises, running far more often than usual, rapid cycling on and off, or visible age and wear. If your pump is more than 7-10 years old or you have had any flooding scares, it is worth having it inspected rather than waiting to find out the hard way.
What happens to my sump pump if the power goes out? +
Without a backup it simply stops working — which is a serious problem since power outages often happen during the same storms that cause flooding. A battery backup system keeps your pump running for hours during an outage.
How often should a sump pump be inspected? +
We generally recommend a check at least once a year, ideally before the wet season — testing the float switch, check valve, discharge line, and running the pump through a real cycle to confirm it activates and drains properly.
Can a sump pump really prevent basement flooding? +
A properly sized, well-maintained sump pump with battery backup is one of the most effective tools for keeping groundwater out of a basement. It will not solve every water issue, but it is a critical piece of an overall flood-prevention plan.
