Saving Plumbing provides sump pump repair and installation services for both residential and commercial properties. Our expert plumbing technicians supply complete sump pump solutions bespoke to each customer.
Some residential properties in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area experience flooded basements yearly, with homes below the main supply line at greater risk. The dark, poorly ventilated conditions of basements make it difficult to control rising water levels, and stagnant water attracts rodents and bacteria as a byproduct.
Homes with an operating sump pump help prevent these problems. Protect your home and contact our sump pump and installation Toronto experts today.
A sump pump is a pump that is placed inside a sump pit, which can be fully submerged in the water and is one of the most important parts of the sump pump system. The sump pump system has three major components – the sump pump itself, a sump pit, and the discharge pipe.
When the water level rises, it first fills the sump pit. There is a weeping tile system that runs around the entire house, and this fills the sump pump first.
As the groundwater level rises, the sump pit fills and automatically pumps the water out of the home through a discharge pipe when it reaches a certain level. When the water is back down to manageable levels, the sump pump automatically stops until it is triggered again.
If your sump pump isn’t working properly, there’s a chance you won’t know until it’s too late, as it’s designed to activate only when water levels rise. Pump issues that go unnoticed can lead to severe water damage and mould, which can take a long time to rectify.
However, when you know what to look out for, you can promptly repair the pump and avoid expensive home repairs.
It’s at the End of Its Lifespan
Sump pumps are incredibly efficient and reliable but aren’t designed to function forever. Over the years, mechanisms within the pump get worn down and don’t tend to last longer for 10 years.
It’s Making Unusual Noises
It’s normal for a sump pump to make noises when operating. However, if the sounds are louder than usual or constant even when the pump isn’t in use, take it as a warning sign that something’s amiss.
Pump Pipes Are Blocked
Debris and iron bacteria can cause rust and corrosion on the sump pump. This is a common problem with these pumps and can make them less effective. If left untreated, the rust can clog the pipes and block the drainage system. We can check whether the rust is superficial or needs drain repair.
The Pump is Constantly Cycling
Even without an ounce of rain, a sump pump with broken electrical parts can frequently cycle intermittently. A faulty activate trigger strains the system due to constant use and shortens its lifespan.

Sump Pump Repair & Installation Toronto FAQs
We want to make our service as transparent as possible. Here are some frequently asked questions about our sump pump repair and installation services.
Yes, a battery backup means your sump pump can still operate during power outages, which is when flooding risks are often highest.
We all know how cold it can get in Toronto, and unfortunately, these low temperatures can freeze the sump pump. The discharge line is the main vulnerability, so you need to ensure it’s sloped and insulated. If you suspect your sump pump is frozen, contact us for frozen pipe repair.
Sump pumps ensure water is kept below a certain level, so as a byproduct, it can also decrease moisture levels. If you’re struggling with high humidity levels, however, we recommend that you also use a humidifier.
Yes, in some cases, we will install a second sump pump. Those who live in areas with heavy rainfall or who have had basement issues in the past can benefit a lot from a second pump. If the first one is to fail when it matters most, you have a backup.
