Want to Avoid a Flooded Basement?
No homeowner wants to deal with a wet basement. Whether flooding is caused by seepage through your foundation or a storm sewer back up, the damage to your home and property can be time consuming and costly to fix.
As climate change causes more frequent and severe storms, ageing sewer infrastructure is struggling to cope – and weather-related residential basement flooding is becoming all too common.
That is why it’s more important than ever to make sure your home has a sump pump, and that it is working properly.

5 Causes of Sump Pump Failure
Since a sump pump is a piece of machinery, things sometimes go wrong. Here are five common causes of sump pump failure:
A power outage is the most common cause of sump pump failure. When the power goes out, so does your sump pump. That’s when a battery back-up sump pump can come to the rescue.
If your sump pump is not installed correctly, or if your sump pump is the wrong size, it may not run efficiently and could have a shorter lifespan. It’s always a good idea to have your sump pump installed by a licenced professional.
Your sump pump has a float that regulates the on / off switch. If your float is not working properly, neither will your sump pump.
Water will not be able to drain away from your basement if the discharge line becomes clogged or frozen. If you notice that your sump pump is not discharging water, it may be time to check your lines.
To help prevent sump pump failure, it’s a good idea to have it inspected by a professional once a year.
Prevention & Troubleshooting
It’s not always easy to pinpoint the source of a backed-up drain, and that can lead to frustration and mounting bills. A video camera drain inspection is a quick, affordable and efficient way to see what’s going on inside your pipes. This makes it easier for us to correct the problem, usually in three easy steps:
Drain camera inspection
Identify any blockage
Clear the blockage using a power drain auger
