Basement taking on water after a heavy rain? Noticing strange noises or failure to pump when it matters most? When your sump pump isn’t doing its job, water damage becomes a very real risk—and once it starts, it doesn’t stop cheap. If you’re relying on a system that’s old, noisy, or just unreliable, it’s time to talk to a plumber who understands what’s at stake.
A sump pump sits in a pit (usually in the basement) and works to remove water that builds up around your home’s foundation—especially during storms or thaw periods. When functioning properly, it quietly pumps water out and away from your home, preventing flooding, mold, and structural issues.
But when a sump pump fails, things go south quickly. That’s why it’s critical to have it inspected regularly and replaced before a small problem becomes a full-blown emergency.
Most homeowners only think about their sump pump when it’s too late. But there are signs you can look out for:
If you’re noticing any of these, your sump pump needs attention—and fast. Whether it’s a repair or full replacement, we’ll take care of it with the urgency it deserves.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Frequently Asked Questions
Most sump pumps last 7–10 years. If yours is within that range and showing signs of wear, it’s a good idea to have it inspected. We can test it and help you decide whether a repair or replacement makes the most sense.
Yes—especially in Scarborough, where storms can knock out power just when your pump is needed most. A battery backup ensures your sump pump keeps working even during outages.
That’s a red flag. It could be a stuck float switch, an undersized pump, or poor drainage design. We’ll come out, diagnose the issue, and make sure your system runs only when it needs to.
Flooded basements aren’t just an inconvenience—they’re expensive, stressful, and damaging to your home’s foundation and air quality. We at Saving Plumbing are here to help you stay ahead of the problem with sump pump solutions that work.
