Our Services

Sump Pump Services We Provide

From urgent repairs to full installations and backup systems, we keep Niagara On The Lake basements protected before, during, and after the storm.

Sump Pump Repair

When the pump won't switch on, runs non-stop, or can't keep up, we find the fault and get it protecting your basement again.

New Sump Pump Installation

We set the pit at the lowest point, fit the pump, and route the discharge line away from your foundation, then test the whole system.

Sump Pump Replacement

An aging or unreliable unit is a flood waiting to happen. We swap it for a properly sized pump built for our wet seasons.

Battery Backup Systems

Storms and power cuts often arrive together. A battery backup keeps the pump working when the electricity goes out.

Annual Maintenance & Testing

A yearly check clears the pit, tests the float and backup, and catches worn parts before they fail in a downpour.

Emergency Pump Service

If your pump quits during heavy rain, call us. We respond fast to stop water before it reaches your basement floor.

Common Problems

Common Sump Pump Problems We Help Fix

  • 1 Float switch problems — when the float sticks, the pump won't kick on as the water rises, leaving your basement at risk
  • 2 Frozen or clogged discharge pipe — a blocked discharge line stops water from getting out, so it backs up into your home
  • 3 Underpowered pump — a unit that's too small simply can't cope with the water during our heavy rainfall seasons
  • 4 Worn-out motor — a failed motor leaves your home unprotected during a storm, exactly when you need it most
Installation

How We Install Your Sump Pump

A proper installation is what keeps water out for years. Here is how we do it, step by step.

1

Site Assessment

We find the lowest point in your basement, where water naturally collects.

2

Pit & Pump Set

A sump pit is dug and a correctly sized pump is fitted and connected.

3

Discharge Routing

The discharge line is directed well away from your foundation, a step that's often done wrong.

4

Full System Test

We test the float switch and any backup power so it all works before we leave.

Maintenance

Keep Your Sump Pump Ready

A little upkeep goes a long way. A yearly check keeps the pump dependable long before the rainy season arrives.

Clear the sump pit

Debris and grit build up over time and can jam the pump right when it matters most.

Test the float and backup

A quick test confirms the pump switches on and the backup power kicks in when it should.

Replace worn parts early

Catching a tired part now is far cheaper than a failed pump during a storm.

What Niagara On The Lake Homeowners Say

Real feedback from local homeowners, from storm-night emergencies to new installations and backups.

★★★★★

Our old pump had been cycling on and off for no reason and honestly I'd been ignoring it. The tech took one look, explained it was on the way out, and swapped it for a properly sized one. No pushy upsell, just told me straight. Runs quiet now and only when it should.

Had them put a pump in when we finished the basement. Clean job, showed me how it works, and pointed the drain line well away from the house.

What sold me was they suggested a battery backup without any hard sell, just explained that storms here tend to knock the power out. Glad I did it. We lost power twice this year and the basement stayed fine both times.

Quick to respond, tidy, and the price was exactly what they quoted. These are the folks I'll be calling from now on.

It absolutely poured one night in spring, and when I went down to check the basement the pump just sat there, dead. Called first thing and they had a new one in before the next round of rain came through. Basement stayed bone dry.

Booked a check before spring just to be safe. They cleared out the pit, tested everything, and gave it a clean bill of health. Peace of mind for not much money.
