Sump Pump Repair and Installation

Home › Plumbing Services › Sump Pump Repair and Installation

A sump pump is the last line of defence between groundwater and your finished basement. When it fails during a heavy rain or spring thaw, the damage can be serious. Plumber On Demand tests, repairs and installs sump pumps across Ontario so your basement stays dry when it matters most.

Signs your sump pump needs attention

Call us if the pump runs constantly, cycles on and off quickly, makes grinding or rattling sounds, does not turn on when the pit fills, or is more than about 7 to 10 years old. A pump that has not run in months should be tested before the next storm.

Why a battery backup matters

The storms that fill your sump pit are often the same storms that knock out power. A battery backup pump takes over when the main pump loses power or fails, giving you protection when you need it most.

Protecting the whole basement

A sump pump works best as part of a complete plan. If your basement has ongoing seepage or cracks, our basement waterproofing team can help, and if water has already come in, our water damage restoration crew can dry things out.
