Sump pumps will keep your home from sustaining water damage. We can help you choose and install one anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area or Ontario.
If you live in a house that has a risk of flooding (or water damage in your basement) then you should seriously consider a sump pump installation. If you already have a sump pump but no backup, let us take care of that for you so that you can breathe easy even during the worst storms and power outages.
A sump pump is a pump that sits either in or under your basement (depending on the kind) inside a sump (pit). It pumps water out and away to a designated area. Serious water damage is one of the most destructive things that can happen to your house, and if you live in an area where flooding is common, you live with that nightmare all the time.
A pedestal pump is older technology but is also the cheaper option! They take up space since they sit above the surface and are also louder, but are easier to access for maintenance.
These pumps sit underneath your basement (which means they are easily hidden) and are also quieter than pedestal pumps.
They tend to be a higher quality option, though the jury is out on whether or not they last as long as a pedestal pump.
Battery-Operated
A battery backup is a great addition to your pump that doesn’t run on electricity and is activated by a floating switch (which will sense when the water is rising).
Water-Operated
A water backup pump runs on water rather than electricity or batteries. It does increase your water bill, though, and isn’t legal in every city so be sure to check before purchasing one!
