How To Protect Basement From Flooding?
In Ottawa, flooding and basement leaks are common problems. If you’re looking to waterproof your home, we can provide several options to help keep your basement dry. Using a multi-layer solution is the best way to protect your home and minimize unseen dangers.
Backwater Valve Installation
The backwater valve is a one-way valve between the city sewer line and your house. It allows water to flow from your house to the sewer but prevents the water from flowing in the opposite direction.
Weeping Tile Installation
These are pipes that transmit groundwater away from your home to a collection point, like a sump basin. The pipes may be installed around the outer or inner perimeter of the home.
Sump Pump Installation
A sump pump consists of a sump basin located beneath your basement floor, and a pump. Water is collected in the basin, where it is sent away from the house. When installing a sump pump, it is best to install a backup power system. This allows for the pump to work during a power outage caused by a storm or other fault.
How Does a Sump Pump Work?
Your house may not need a sump pump. The best way to determine your house’s waterproofing needs is to call us for a free, no-obligation inspection. We’ll assess your home and determine which solutions should be applied.
A sump pump works by being connected to your weeping tile. Water is collected by the weeping tile and drains into the sump pump basin. When the water rises to a specific level, the sump pump turns on automatically to drain the sump basin. The water is deposited pipes to a place away from your home’s foundation.
Why Choose Professional For Sump Pump Installation?
For the best operation of your pump, it should be installed by a licensed professional plumber like Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services. We install each of the components and make sure the connections between them are solid. In our installation process, we consider the optimum position to place each item for maximizing flood prevention.
Selecting us for your service means that you can save on sump pump installation. We can guide you in applying for rebates from the City of Ottawa that drastically reduce your project costs.
How To Choose the Right Sump Pump?
Pumps may be automatic (with a backup power supply) or manually driven. Manual ones may be cheaper, but the automatic pumps are usually recommended in most cases. When choosing a sump pump, you should consider factors like horsepower, voltage, cord length, and backup power sources. It’s a lot to consider. We’ll work with you to decide if you need a sump pump and the best one for your home.
Should I Choose A Battery Backup Sump Pump?
A battery backup sump pump will afford peace of mind and protection should your existing sump pump break down. Unfortunately, this isn’t an uncommon event. Whenever Ottawa experiences a major rainstorm or the snow starts melting after a bad winter with tons of snow, our phones at Dr. Pipe ring off the hook. The reason is that homeowners across Ottawa are worried since their sump pumps aren’t working properly or at at. In such cases, a battery backup sump pump may have saved their bacon.
That’s especially true for homeowners residing in regions with a high water table. If you own a home in such an area, you could be in trouble whether it’s raining cats and dogs or a ton of snow is melting quickly. If there’s a power outage and you lack a battery-powered sump pump, your basement could get flooded. It’s cheaper to get battery-operated sump pump installations and regular sump pump maintenance to ensure your pump works than to correct the fallout after basement flooding.
What Should I Know About A Weeping Tile?
An essential component of a working submersible sump system is a weeping tile. Your pump won’t effectively or efficiently eradicate water from your residence’s foundation if the weeping tile isn’t working correctly. Have you noticed water damage on your floor – even while your sump pump appears to be working? If so, your weeping tile is probably blocked. If your home was constructed before 1975, clay weeping tiles were likely used.
Clay can unfortunately become brittle. We rarely see homes with functional clay weeping tiles. At Dr. Pipe, we can check your weeping tile, give you an assessment, and help with basement water removal and waterproofing. We offer the plumbing services you need, whether you require sump pump repair, help with your drainage system, or assistance to install a sump pump.
What Does a Sump Pump Cost with a City of Ottawa Rebate?
Each sump pump installation is different. It’s best if you call us for a free, no-obligation inspection. This will help us determine what system components work best for your needs and your budget. We can provide assistance with preparing the paperwork to take advantage of rebates offered by the City of Ottawa.

FAQs
1. What is the purpose of a sump pump?
A sump pump is positioned in a dedicated pit in your basement to collect extra groundwater before it can cause flooding. When the water level rises, the pump turns on and moves the water through a discharge line away from your foundation. This helps prevent basement flooding and protects your home from water damage.
2. When should I consider installing a sump pump in my home?
If your basement is sometimes damp, water is pooling, or it’s at risk due to a high water table or heavy rain, a sump pump can help protect your property. A Dr. Pipe professional can check your home and suggest the right system for you.
3. How often should I perform maintenance on my sump pump?
Regular maintenance is important to keep your sump pump working well. You should test and check your sump pump at least once a year. Clean out any debris from the pit, ensure the float switch moves freely, and check that the discharge line is clear. It’s also a good idea to have a professional inspect it each year to catch problems early.
4. Why is it important to have a professional install a sump pump?
Licensed plumbers ensure your sump pump and its parts, such as the pit, check valve, and discharge line, are the correct size and installed in accordance with local codes. Professional installation helps prevent problems such as backflow, improper placement, incorrect electrical connections, or poor discharge routing.
5. Do sump pumps have backup systems, and why are they necessary?
Yes. Many homes have battery or water-powered backup sump pumps to keep things running if the power goes out or the main pump fails. Backup systems are especially important in areas with frequent storms or power outages. They give homeowners peace of mind that their basements will remain protected if the main pump fails.
