Sump Pump Repair & Installation

If you are living in a house in GTA Toronto, you may probably know that basement flooding is a typical problem, with the heavy rains that we have in the city every year. The City of Toronto recommends a number of measures homeowners can take to decrease your risk of flooding. The City offers homeowners financial assistance for eligible flood prevention measures, including sump pump installation.

There are several ways which the water usually gets into the basement:

• From weeping tiles surrounding the area
• Overflow from the ground water if your basement level is lower than the water table
• Through your perimeter drains during periods of high water, such as rainstorms and flooding

In general sump pumps are used to remove water from a hole in the floor known as a sump pit. As part of a sump pit drainage system, the pit is a hole located in the floor of your basement or crawl spaces beneath a home to collect water. The purpose of sump pits is to gather water in one place for easy drainage to a place away from the home.
Sump pumps will wear out over time and will need to be replaced just like any equipment with moving parts. There is no specific rule on how often a sump pump should be replaced since it really depends on how often the pump operates. Regular maintenance of sump pump is very important as it will prevent unexpected failures.
