Why Sewer Squad Is Toronto’s Go-To Plumbing Company
What Does a Sump Pump Do?
Your sump pump is your basement’s first line of defence. It sits in a pit below your home and pumps water away from your foundation when the water table rises. But when it fails, due to age, clogs, power loss, or motor issues, you’re at real risk of flooding. That’s where we come in. Sewer Squad repairs or replaces sump pumps before disaster strikes. Fast, clean, and done right the first time.
When to Replace Instead of Repair? Sump pumps typically last 7–10 years. If yours is aging, loud, unreliable, or has failed during a storm before, it’s time to consider a replacement. We’ll help you pick the right size and type, and install it with a backup system if needed.

Sump Pump Repairs and Replacements to Prevent Flooding
frequently asked questions
How do I know if my sump pump is working properly?
Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should kick on, remove the water quickly, and then shut off. If it doesn’t, drains slowly, or sounds weird, it may need service.
What happens if my sump pump fails during a storm?
Your basement can flood fast. That’s why we recommend a backup system (battery or water-powered) to kick in during power outages or pump failures.
Is it better to repair or replace a sump pump?
If it’s under 7 years old and the motor still runs, a repair may do the trick. But if it’s older, unreliable, or has failed during a storm, a replacement is the safer bet.
How much does sump pump repair or replacement cost?
Costs vary based on the problem and pump type. We offer upfront pricing and walk you through options before any work begins. Absolutely no surprises
Can you install a sump pump if I don’t already have one?
Yes, we handle full installations, including pit excavation, drainage setup, and backup systems, so your basement stays protected long term.
