What Is Sump Pump Repair?

Sump pump repair involves diagnosing and correcting mechanical, electrical, or plumbing issues
that prevent a sump pump system from operating properly.
Unlike routine maintenance, repair addresses functional failures that place your basement at immediate risk.

Professional sump pump repair restores reliable water removal, ensures automatic activation,
and confirms that discharge systems are functioning as intended.
In Toronto’s climate, where storms and rapid snowmelt are common, dependable sump pump operation is essential.

Why Sump Pump Failures Are a Serious Risk

When a sump pump fails, water can accumulate rapidly—often within minutes.
Many failures occur during storms, when groundwater levels are highest and power disruptions are more likely.

  • Basement flooding and standing water
  • Damage to finished basements
  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Foundation moisture damage
  • Loss of personal belongings
  • Electrical and safety hazards

Prompt sump pump repair minimizes damage and restores peace of mind.


Common Sump Pump Problems We Repair

Sump Pump Not Turning On

This may be caused by a faulty float switch, electrical issue, tripped breaker, or failed motor.
If the pump doesn’t activate when water rises, flooding can occur quickly.

Sump Pump Running Continuously

Continuous operation often indicates a stuck float, improper pit size,
incorrect installation, or groundwater inflow exceeding system capacity.
Constant running shortens pump lifespan and signals a deeper issue.

Unusual Noises or Vibrations

Grinding, rattling, or humming noises may indicate worn bearings,
debris in the impeller, or motor failure.
Early repair can prevent complete breakdown.

Sump Pump Short Cycling

Short cycling—turning on and off rapidly—can result from improper float settings,
discharge line issues, or insufficient pit volume.

Discharge Line Problems

Frozen, blocked, or improperly routed discharge lines can prevent water from leaving the system,
causing backups and pump strain.

Backup System Failure

Battery backup sump pumps may fail due to depleted batteries, charger issues, or control problems.
Backup failures often go unnoticed until a power outage occurs.


Signs You Need Sump Pump Repair

  • Water collecting in the sump pit without pumping
  • Basement flooding or dampness
  • Sump pump alarm activation
  • Frequent breaker trips
  • Visible corrosion or damage
  • Strong odors near the sump pit
  • Age of pump exceeding expected lifespan

Addressing these signs early reduces the risk of emergency flooding.


Our Sump Pump Repair Process

1) System Inspection & Diagnosis

We inspect the pump, float switch, discharge line, power supply, and backup system.
Accurate diagnosis ensures repairs address the root cause—not just the symptoms.

2) Repair or Component Replacement

Depending on the issue, repairs may involve replacing float switches,
clearing impellers, fixing discharge lines, or correcting electrical connections.

3) Testing & Performance Verification

After repair, the system is tested under simulated conditions to confirm reliable activation and discharge.
