Sump Pump Toronto: Reliable Dry Basements
Sometimes, it isn’t easy to know what’s happening in your basement, but just imagine having to keep up with what’s happening beneath it. When rainwater is stored inside the soil around your foundation, it raises the water table, which can result in hydrostatic pressure. This hydrostatic pressure can cause cracks in your foundation and floor, letting water inside your basement. Building concrete below grade can be troublesome without a proper sump pump waterproofing strategy. During heavy rain, your home’s weeping tile system can become overwhelmed. It may not function properly as the amount of water can overload its flow, which results in water entering the basement. This issue can be solved by installing a sump pump to remove pressure from your water table.
What is a Sump Pump?
The sump pump is a device used to pump away water underneath your basement floor and away from your home’s foundation. A sump is a pit dug at the lowest point of your basement, also known as a sump basin. Water flows to the basin through weeping tile or naturally migrates through the soil and is collected in the sump pit. When a certain level of water is reached in the sump pit, the pump starts automatically and begins to pump away the water through a discharge pipe and away from your foundation. This way, your basement stays dry from below, and numerous water-related issues can be solved. If you want additional peace of mind, you need a backup sump pump to ensure your basement stays dry, no matter what. Call us today for expert sump pump installation experience in Toronto.
Why Install a Sump Pump?
Installing a sump pump is a wise investment to ensure your home stays protected and dry. Peace of mind comes with installing a reliable sump pump, assuring protection during wet seasons and extreme weather. If you live in a region where it rains the heaviest or has dense snowfall, sump pumps divert the excess water to prevent flooding and damage in your basement. They add property value, especially in flood-prone regions, boosting appeal to potential buyers and resale prices. By averting water accumulation, they maintain structural integrity, reducing foundation cracks and shifting. They also prevent water damage, lowering the chance of costly repairs and harm.
In addition, sump pumps create a drier environment, curbing mould and mildew growth and protecting property and people. They are customizable in types and sizes and can come with a battery backup for power outages. While there’s an upfront cost, sump pumps save long-term repair expenses and health risks.
In summary, installing a sump pump provides a comprehensive solution to mitigate water accumulation and its associated risks, offering protection and peace of mind for the long run.
6 Step Repair Process:
01
Determine Origin of Leak
Determine moisture or water entry location to help us determine the leak’s origin in your basement.
02
Sump Box Evaluation
A sump box is also referred to as a sump basin. Whether you require a new sump box installation or will be utilizing an existing sump basin, be sure the basin is the proper size and build.
03
Industrial Sump Pump
Once the sump basin is prepared, choose a robust industrial oil-cooled pump with an exterior float.
04
Yearly Maintenance
Over time, flowing water tends to bring small traces of sediment into sump basins. Inspect the basin yearly and remove any debris.
05
Cost Vs Workmanship
With dozens of contractors out there, be sure you are getting what you pay for. Beware of the recently saturated basement waterproofing marketplace.
06
Drainage
Maintain your eavestrough and downspouts year round; ensure your grade is positively pitched away from foundation walls.

Sump Pump Installation Process
When you hire us, we deliver quality results. During the basement sump pump installation process, our technicians will arrive at the site and inspect your basement situation. We will clean the area, choose the location suitable for installing the pump, and start excavation. A hole of appropriate size to the sump basin is dug, and gravel and filter cloth are installed into the excavation. The basin is then set inside the sump pit and surrounded with gravel. The weeping tile system is then connected to the sump basin to collect water.
The pump is now fitted inside the sump basin. Choosing the right pump depends upon various factors. We always recommend using an oil-cooled submersible pump. It is a little expensive but much more cost-effective in the long run. Then, an outlet pipe is connected from the pump to the outside of your basement walls, diverting water away from your foundations. The outlet pipe must have a one-way check valve to prevent the backflow of water to the basin. After all this is done, we pour water into the basin and check the pump. After everything is working correctly, the basin cover is put on, and the sump pump is installed.
