Sump Pump
Installation and Replacement

The staff at Aqua Drain can assist you if you need a new sump pump installed. To locate the sump pit and pump in the most effective place for your needs, we will examine your property. We will then make recommendations for the optimum size and kind of pump. Also, we’ll make sure that the installation complies with all applicable local safety and performance standards.

Our experts can assist you in selecting and installing a new sump pump if your old one is damaged beyond repair or if it is simply out of date and not working as effectively as it should. When recommending the best pump for your requirements, we’ll take into account things like the size of your property, how much water you need to pump, and your spending limit. Also, we’ll take care of the installation and make sure everything is operating properly.

Hydro excavation in Ottawa and across Canada is gaining in popularity and today is in widespread use. That’s because project managers have found daylighting with hydrovac trucks to be a safe, effective means of clearing soil. What’s more, hydro excavation gets the job done in less time, is cleaner for the site itself – and it’s better for the environment as a whole.

Frequently Asked Questions

A sump pump’s lifespan might vary based on factors like usage and maintenance. However, it is typically advised to replace your sump pump every 5-7 years to make sure it is reliable and operating correctly. It might be required to replace your sump pump earlier if you start to experience any problems with it before this time.

Although installing a sump pump yourself is possible, it is advised to hire a professional to do it to guarantee that it is done correctly and safely. Poor installation can result in problems like leaks, electrical concerns, and decreased performance.

It may be a good idea to have a battery backup for your sump pump, especially if you reside in a region that experiences frequent power outages. In the event of a power outage, the backup battery will make sure that your sump pump keeps running, helping to avert flooding and water damage.

To make sure your sump pump is working properly, it is advised to test it at least once a year. Pour water into the sump pit until the float switch turns on the sump pump to test it. It might be time for maintenance or repairs if the pump won’t operate or isn’t successfully pumping water out of the pit.

A check valve is a valve that only lets water flow in one direction to stop it from backing up into the sump pit from the discharge pipe. Sump pumps require a check valve to make sure that water is being pumped out of the building and not back into the pit.
