Sump pump installation is required for basements in many areas across the GTA, including Toronto, Mississauga, and Oakville. A sump pump protects your basement from flooding in case of heavy rain, intensive snowmelts, or poor drainage. It is a device located at the lowest point in your basement that sucks the water out and is a secondary defensive waterproofing measure. Water Guard Plumbing has served Toronto and the GTA since 2012. We install, test and repair sump pumps, with recommendations tailored to your property.

What is a Sump Pump?
Sump pumps come in various shapes, sizes, and functionalities, but their primary purpose is the same: to drive water away from your residential or commercial property. Some pumps require more horsepower to drive water further, ranging from 10ft to 40ft, or even 100ft away. The standard horsepower for a sump pump is 0.5 horsepower, but many homeowners and commercial owners typically prefer to pay a little more for a 1-horsepower sump pump. It is important to assess your needs properly with a professional plumbing contractor, who will do the appropriate testing to make sure that you make the right decision for your situation.
It is also important to maintain your sump pump over time. Debris such as rocks, pebbles, and electrical malfunctions are common problems that should be addressed as soon as possible. Contact a professional plumber at Water Guard Plumbing for a thorough inspection.

After the work plan is agreed on, we help coordinate any required permits and confirm who will submit the application for your project.
The crew will arrive on-site, secure the construction zone, and excavate the location suitable for the sump pump installation.

Sump Pump FAQs
Do You Need a Plumber to Install a Sump Pump?
It is not recommended to install a sump pump yourself, because it is necessary to dig a trench and lay pipes before you install a sump pump.
Can You Install a Sump Pump in A Finished Basement?
Yes, you can. A retrofit system is a good option. A professional plumber will have to make a 30-inch pit in the concrete of the perimeter basement to fit the system.
How to Replace a Sump Pump?
For sump pump replacement, contact Water Guard Plumbing to arrange an assessment of your existing pump, sump pit and discharge line. We can recommend a suitable replacement and confirm the installation scope.
