Sump pumps are required for most basements across the Ottawa area, including homes in Orleans, Barrhaven, Stittsville, and beyond. A sump pump protects your basements from the flooding that can occur after a heavy rainfall or major snow meltdown, often a side-effect of poor drainage. With over 15 years of experience, Summit Drain is well-equipped to handle any of your emergency plumbing and sump pump installation needs.

We make sure that everything is running smoothly with an efficient and effective installation, repair, or replacement process that will guarantee a waterproof basement. This is especially important if you’re in a region of Ottawa with a high water table, as your home is then more prone to flooding, but with our services you can rest assured knowing that the risk has been mitigated.

What Is Sump Pump Installation?
A sump pump is a device that is installed in the lowest part of your basement, typically in a sump pit. The pit is usually no more than two feet wide and two feet deep and is lined with gravel to help keep the water level down. The sump pump itself is a small, submersible pump that sits in the pit and pumps water out through a discharge pipe.
If your home doesn’t already have a sump pump, or if your current pump is no longer working properly, it’s important to call in a professional for installation. The Summit Drain team emphasizes quality and professionalism, and with industry-leading pricing, you can get the service you need without breaking the bank.
Why It’s Important For A Sump Pump Repair in Ottawa?
If you have a sump pump in Ottawa, it’s important to keep it in good condition. A damaged or malfunctioning pump can lead to basement flooding, and it will often result in damage that goes far beyond that of a simple fix. Regularly maintaining your pump can help to avoid disaster, and if a replacement is needed, it’s important to get it done as quickly as possible. With a 24/7 rapid response service, you can trust that the Summit Drain team will be around to help you when you need it most. A sump pump system is an important part of a home’s basement drainage system. A sump pump is used to remove water that has been collected in the sump pit. When it rains or the snow melts, the water will flow into the pit and the sump pump will turn on and remove the water. If your home does not have a basement sump pump system, it is important to install one. A sump pump can help prevent water from seeping into your basement and causing damage. If your home already has a sump pump system, it is important to make sure it is working properly. You can test your sump pump by pouring water into the sump pit. The pump should turn on and remove the water. If the pump does not turn on, it may need to be replaced.
If you are in need of a new sump pump, or if your current sump pump needs to be replaced, contact Summit Drain Ottawa for assistance. We will be able to help you choose the right sump pump for your home and install it for you.
When Is It Time For A Sump Pump Replacement in Ottawa?
Like any appliance, an Ottawa sump pump has a limited lifespan. With proper sump pump maintenance, most pumps will last between 5 and 10 years. If your pump is nearing the end of its useful life, it’s important to start thinking about a replacement and to ensure that you have a capable team with years of experience to install it correctly.
If your pump is already showing signs of wear and tear, such as rust or cracks, it’s time for a replacement. Additionally, if your pump has been damaged by a flood or is constantly running, it’s likely time for a new one.
