The hardest-working hero in your basement
Your sump pump sits quietly in a pit doing nothing — right up until the storm of the year, when it becomes the only thing standing between your finished basement and a very bad week. We install, repair and replace sump pumps across Toronto, Ajax, Whitby and Uxbridge, and we treat them with the respect a flood-prevention device deserves.
What we do
- Repairs — stuck float switches, failed check valves, clogged intakes, seized motors
- Replacements — properly sized pumps, not just whatever's on the shelf
- Battery backup systems — because basement-flooding storms love knocking out power
- New pit and pump installations for homes that get seepage but have no pump at all
- Discharge line fixes — frozen, disconnected or draining right back into the pit
Warning signs worth a call
If your pump runs constantly, short-cycles on and off, rattles or grinds, smells burnt, or simply hasn't run in so long you're not sure it works — test it before the weather does. Pour a bucket of water into the pit: the pump should kick on, drain it fast, and shut off cleanly. Anything else, call us.
Belt and suspenders
A sump pump handles groundwater; it does nothing about the city sewer backing up through your floor drain. For full basement protection we often pair a pump with a backwater valve — and if you've already had water in, our restorations team handles the rebuild while we make sure it never happens again.
