What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is a small device installed in the lowest part of your basement or crawlspace, designed to prevent excess water from flooding your home. It works by collecting excess water that gathers in a sump basin, typically installed at the foundation level. As water flows into this basin, the sump pump activates, pumping the water out and away from your home through a discharge line. This is especially crucial during conditions such as heavy rainfall or significant snow melts, when there is sewer backup from excess water not draining fast enough.
How does a Sump Work?
1. Detection of Water: A sump pump is usually installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace in a specially constructed sump pit. Water flows into this pit through drains or by natural water migration through the soil.
​
2. Activation: The sump pump is equipped with a float switch that activates the pump when the water level in the sump pit rises to a certain point. This is similar to the mechanism in a toilet tank.
​
3. Pumping: Once activated, the sump pump moves water from the sump pit through a pipe called a discharge pipe.
​
4. Discharge: The water is expelled from the discharge pipe away from your home’s foundation, typically to a storm drain or a dry well, ensuring that it doesn’t seep back into your basement.
5. Deactivation: As the water level in the sump pit lowers, the float switch deactivates the pump, stopping the pumping process until the water level rises again.

Back Up Sump Pump Installation
Installing a backup sump pump alongside your primary pump is the right decision when installing flood preventative measures and ensures full protection for your home against water damage. The primary pump handles most of the workload, but in cases such as during a power outage or a particularly heavy storm (which is usually when you would need the pump anyways) the backup pump takes over, providing an essential second layer of defence. This added insurance is especially important in areas prone to high water levels or significant rainfall as we have seen with current weather patterns and heavy rainfall.
At Drain Stream, we offer to install a high-quality backup sump pump for an incremental cost of just $1,180 when installed alongside a primary pump.
This investment enhances the reliability of your flood prevention system and more importantly, provides peace of mind knowing that your home is safeguarded against unexpected pump failures and extreme weather conditions. This small additional cost could potentially save you thousands in flood damage repairs, making it a wise and cost-effective choice for any homeowner.
Does the City Provide Rebates for Sump Pump Installations?
When heavy rains hit, our city's sewers can become overwhelmed, increasing the risk of basement flooding. It's crucial for homeowners to take proactive steps to protect their homes from water damage.
​
If you own a single-family, duplex, triplex, or fourplex residential home, you're in luck!
