Have you ever lost power during a thunderstorm and wondered whether your sump pump was still running? For many homeowners, that is when basement flooding happens. The rain is heaviest, the ground is saturated and the pump that protects the basement has no electricity.
We offer battery backup sump pump installation for new and existing systems across Toronto, Peel and Halton. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to add peace of mind to your flood protection.
Why a backup matters
A primary sump pump can stop for several reasons, including a power outage, a stuck float switch or simple wear. A battery backup pump sits in the same pit and turns on automatically if the water rises past a set level. It keeps pumping until power returns or the primary pump is fixed.
Choosing the right system
There are several things to consider, including how much water your primary pump moves, how long you want the backup to run and how much room is in the pit. We choose a pump and battery that suit your home, and we plumb the backup so it can work on its own even if the main pump fails.
Rebates for battery backup
In Toronto, the City pays 80% of eligible costs up to $300 for battery backup, on top of the sump pump subsidy. We provide the itemized invoice and photos the City asks for, so your application is complete.
Add a backup before storm season
If you already have a sump pump, adding a backup is usually a quick job. Get in touch with our team, and we will check your system and give you a written quote.
