Sump Pump & Drainage FAQ
How much does sump pump installation cost in Thunder Bay?
The price depends on whether a new pit has to be cut into the basement floor, the type of pump, how far the discharge line has to run and whether weeping tile is being tied in. Replacing a pump in an existing pit costs the least. We give you a free estimate before any work starts.
How long does a sump pump last?
Most sump pumps last around 7 to 10 years. Pumps that run often, handle a lot of sediment or sit in a pit that is too small wear out sooner. Testing the pump each spring and fall lets you replace it before it fails.
How do I stop my sump pump discharge line from freezing?
Keep the line sloped so water drains out of it, discharge it well away from the house and insulate or bury the parts that are exposed. In Thunder Bay we use insulated hose and specialized valves so the line keeps working through the winter.
Why does my sump pump run all the time?
A pump that runs constantly may be too small for the water coming in, have a stuck float switch, have a broken check valve that lets water flow back into the pit or be dealing with a high water table in spring. Have it checked before the motor burns out.
Do I need a backup sump pump?
A backup pump keeps your basement dry if the main pump fails or the power goes out during a storm, which is when you need it most. A battery backup or a second pump is a good idea for any basement that takes on water regularly.
