A sump pump only matters on the one night it has to work. We size it properly, fit a backup, and test it before we leave.

Sump Pump Replacement
Your sump pump sits in a pit below the basement floor and moves groundwater away from the foundation before it can rise through the slab. When it fails, you usually find out during the exact storm you needed it for.
Most builder-fitted pumps last somewhere between seven and ten years. If yours is older than that, runs constantly, cycles on and off rapidly, or makes a grinding noise, it is telling you something.
Flood Guard replaces, installs, services and repairs sump pumps across Toronto and the GTA, including battery backup systems and high-water alarms.
We size the pump to your pit, water table and discharge run, not to whatever was on the van.
Storms and power cuts arrive together. A backup pump runs when the mains supply does not.
An audible alarm and optional phone alert tell you the moment the pit rises too far.
We fit a proper check valve and confirm the discharge runs well clear of the foundation.
We clean out the pit itself. Silt and gravel are the most common cause of premature failure.
We fill the pit, watch the float trip, and confirm the run-out under real conditions.
Flood Guard
Age is the biggest factor, but watch for a pump that runs when there has been no rain, one that cycles on and off every few seconds, visible rust on the housing, grinding or rattling noises, or a float that sticks. Any of these mean the pump is on borrowed time. If your basement is finished, the cost of replacing a tired pump is trivial next to the cost of the flood it is going to cause.
Flood Guard
A mains-powered pump is useless in a power cut, and severe storms cause power cuts. A battery backup system sits alongside the primary pump with its own float and takes over automatically. We recommend one for any finished basement. Paired with a high-water alarm, it gives you both a second line of defence and a warning if the water is still rising.

Sump pump installation can qualify under the City of Toronto Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program, and we provide the invoice, permit and documentation the application needs. For maintenance, test your pump every three to four months by pouring a bucket of water into the pit to trigger the float. Have it professionally serviced once a year, ideally before the spring thaw, when we clean the pit, check the float and impeller, test the discharge line and inspect the backup battery.

Typically seven to ten years. If yours is older than that, replace it before it fails rather than after.
It depends on your basement size, water table and discharge run. Most homes need a one-third to one-half horsepower pump, but we assess rather than assume.
If your basement is finished, yes. Storms cause power cuts, and a mains-only pump is dead weight during one.
Test it yourself every three to four months. Have it professionally serviced annually, before spring.
