What is a Sump Pump and How Does it Work?

A sump pump is installed in the basement to help prevent flooding by removing excess water that accumulates in a reservoir underground. When water reaches a certain level in the reservoir, a switch is triggered, the pump turns on, sucks up the water and redirects it away from your home’s foundation through pipes that lead to a drainage system. There are a couple of different kinds of sump pumps available (submersible and pedestal) that our contractor will discuss with you depending on your specific needs and home. Sump pumps are a great way to keep your home free of water damage for many years to come.

Benefits of Sump Pumps

Sump pumps are essential for Toronto homes, effectively preventing basement flooding during heavy rain and snow. They enhance property value by maintaining a dry, mold-free basement and improving air quality. Additionally, sump pumps protect structural integrity by preventing water buildup around the foundation, ensuring a safer and healthier living environment.

Prevent Basement Flooding

Sump pumps effectively prevent basement flooding by pumping water away from your home, especially during heavy rain and snowfall in Toronto, protecting your basement from significant damage.

Increase Home’s Value

A dry, well-maintained basement free of mold, dampness, and musty odors increases your home’s value and attracts potential buyers, making it a valuable investment.

Prevent Mold & Mildew Growth

By preventing water infiltration, sump pumps reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can cause unpleasant odors, damage belongings, and pose serious health risks to your family.

Enhance Structural Integrity

Sump pumps help maintain the structural integrity of your home by preventing water buildup around the foundation, thus extending the lifespan of your property and ensuring its stability.

The Sump Pump Installation Process

Excavation

Apply waterproof membranes to exterior walls and foundations, creating a durable barrier against water infiltration. These membranes protect vulnerable areas from moisture and ensure long-lasting defense against water damage.

Sump Pump Installation

Dig trenches filled with gravel and a perforated pipe to redirect water away from the foundation. French drains prevent water from seeping into the home and pooling around the foundation.
