Why sump pump installation fails here

01. Dead or undersized pump

02. No battery backup

Ice storms knock power out. Water does not care. Dual pumps or battery backup is not a luxury here. In Grange Hill East, Guelph, that plays out against limestone bedrock close to grade in older wards and clay loam in the south-end subdivisions.

03. Bad discharge

How we actually do the work

1

Check the pit

Cracked liners, gravel-clogged inlets, and float switches stuck on the pipe — we see it weekly.

2

Size the pump

Head height, inflow, and clay vs sand matter. We do not guess from the old label.

3

Install liner and discharge

A proper basin, sealed lid, check valve, and a discharge line that leaves the house for good.

4

Add backup

Battery or water-powered backup depending on the house. We test both primary and backup before we leave.

5

Show you the test

You should hear it run and see water leave. No mystery boxes.
