When your emergency sump pump system works correctly, it’s easy to take it for granted. You may not even realize you have one — until it quits working.

You will barely realize your submersible sump pump is there the majority of the time. Even so, you may notice a humming sound coming from the submersible pump in the spring, when it rains, and when the snow starts to melt in the spring.

If your sump pump has suffered a catastrophic failure, that will create more problems than you can imagine. You’ll want to get professional help so your emergency sump pump is up and running as soon as possible.

Submersible Sump Pump Installation

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. 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. 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.

Installing Your Pump

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.

Choosing the Right 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.

Battery Backup Sump Pumps

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.

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.
