Reasons to Install a Sump Pump

Many homeowners in Ontario use a sump pump to protect their home from flooding or water damage. These pumps work by using a series of french drains that siphon water into a tank located in the basement or cellar. Once the water reaches a certain level, a pump activates that removes water from the tank and pumps it away from your home. People who live in low-lying areas with a lot of groundwater, as well as those who experience heavy rainfall benefit greatly from these devices.

Common Reasons for Repair or Replacement

Some of the most common sump pump problems include:

INCORRECTLY sized pumps that are not equipped to handle the water demands.
PUMPS THAT have a low or slow flow rate may also cause flooding if your home requires a pump with a higher flow rate.
IF THE PUMP is not used regularly, it may seize up and not work when you need it to.

It’s important to get a sump pump that is designed to meet your unique needs.

A professionally trained eye will be able to recommend the best pump for your home.

What Type of Pump Should You Install?

There are two main types of sump pumps that are most popular with homeowners.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Some of the differences between the two include:

Submersible Unit:

THIS UNIT can be fully submerged in water without sustaining damage.
THEY REMOVE water at a high rate per minute.
IDEAL CHOICE for homeowners who rely on their sump pump only in emergency situations.

Pedestal Pump:

THE PUMP sits on a pedestal above the water tank and cannot be submerged in water.
THEY MOVE water at a slow, steady rate.
GOOD CHOICE for homeowners that rely on the pump on a regular basis.
