Does water seep into your basement after heavy rain or when the snow melts? The ground around your foundation holds a lot of water, and without somewhere to go, it finds its way inside. A sump pump collects that water in a pit below the floor and pumps it safely away from the house.

We offer sump pump installation for homes across Toronto, Peel and Halton. Our team installs the complete system, from the pit to the discharge line, and prepares the paperwork for your municipal rebate.

A system sized for your home

The right sump pump depends on how much water your foundation drains collect. A pump that is too small can fall behind in a storm, while one that is oversized can cycle too often and wear out early. We assess your basement and choose the pit and pump that fit.

Weeping tile disconnection

In many older GTA homes, the weeping tiles around the foundation drain straight into the sewer line. During heavy rain, that adds more water to an already overloaded system. When we install a sump pump, we can sever and cap that connection and send the weeping tile water to the new pit instead. It is a key part of flood protection, and in Toronto and Halton it qualifies for its own subsidy.

Rebates that lower your cost

Toronto pays 80% of eligible sump pump costs up to $2,250, plus up to $300 for battery backup and up to $400 for pipe severance and capping. In Halton Region, weeping tile disconnection with a sump pump qualifies for 100% of costs up to $6,500. We include your rebate and your cost after the rebate in your written estimate.

Plan your flood protection

A sump pump works best as part of a complete plan, often with a backwater valve and disconnected downspouts. Reach out to our team, and we will assess your home and recommend the combination that protects it best.

Know the signs

Signs you need a sump pump

  • Water seeps up through the basement floor or at the wall and floor joint
  • Your weeping tiles are being disconnected from the sanitary sewer
  • Your existing pump is old, noisy or runs constantly
  • The basement smells damp or musty after rain
  • You are installing a backwater valve and need somewhere for foundation water to go

Our approach

How we install a sump pump

Right-sized pit and pump

We size the pit and pump for the water your foundation drains collect, rather than using one size for every home.

Weeping tile connection

Where weeping tiles are connected to the sewer, we sever and cap that connection and redirect the tiles into the new sump pit.

Proper discharge

The discharge line has a check valve and exits to a location that meets local by-laws, draining away from the foundation.

Backup and rebate paperwork

We recommend a battery backup, and we provide the invoices and photos your municipality needs for the rebate.

Our process

How we work

Every job follows the same six steps, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.

  1. Camera first

    We look inside the pipe or trace the line before anyone talks price, so the quote is based on what is really there.

  2. Written quote

    You get an itemized estimate in writing, with the rebates that apply and your cost after them.

  3. Permits booked

    We pull the plumbing or building permit and book the inspections with your municipality.

  4. Low-dig work

    Where the ground allows, we use trenchless methods to replace pipe through small access pits.

  5. Restoration

    We backfill, compact and tidy the site. Any concrete, sod or finish restoration is listed line by line in your quote.

  6. Rebate filing

    We prepare the invoices, photos and permit proof your rebate application needs.

FAQ

Sump Pump Installation questions

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, give us a call.

How much does sump pump installation cost?

It depends on whether a new pit is needed, the pump, the discharge route and any weeping tile work. In Toronto, the City pays 80% of eligible costs up to $2,250 for the sump pump and up to $300 for battery backup. We show your cost after the rebate in your estimate.

Do I need a sump pump if I have a backwater valve?

If your weeping tiles drain into the sewer line downstream of the valve, water from around your foundation can have nowhere to go while the valve is closed. A sump pump gives that water a safe outlet.

Where should my sump pump discharge?

Onto your property, away from the foundation and not onto a neighbour's lot or directly onto a sidewalk. Local by-laws set the rules, and we route the discharge to meet them.

How long does a sump pump last?

It depends on how often it runs and the quality of the pump. Testing it each spring and replacing it before it fails is the best protection.
