One of the most in-demand drain and plumbing services that we regularly talk about with Richmond Hill homeowners is sump pumps. We have been asked many times why sump pumps are not working as they should. That is why we have come up with some reasons why Richmond Hill sump pumps are not working as they should.

Proper sump pump installation for homes built before 1990

Reason #1 – Wrong Size Sump Pump

If your sump pump is incorrectly sized, you are going to have a problem when the water does flow. A small pump can be extremely effective, but if your sump pump is far too big, it can often lead to a shorter product lifespan because it has to work much harder. You need to make sure that you have the right sized sump pump for your needs.

Reason #2 – Power Failure

an electrical power outage is the most common reason that sump pumps do not function. You can have a manually-activated backup generator to help you avoid this problem. However, if you are not there to turn it on, this does not really help. In that case, a backup generator can be a lifesaver.

Reason #3 – A Lack Of Maintenance

We have seen it before in Richmond Hill homeowners – they have installed their sump pumps but performed no maintenance on them. Especially before the rainy seasons hits you want to make sure that you have a professional check your sump pump. What good are sump pumps if you are not sure that they are going to work when you need them most?

Reason #4 – Improper Installation

There is a reason that we do not recommend a DIY-installation of sump pumps, because improper installation can lead to a false sense of security. With an improper installation the sump pump sounds like it is working but does not actually do anything – and in the worst case scenario you are actively damaging your sump pump.

Reason #5 – Product Defects

Given that sump pumps have moving parts, it is important to remember that a product defect does occur. If you want to make sure that your sump pump is working, call a professional to test it for you.

Plumbing Testimonials:

Anna, Richmond Hill

Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!

Vladimir, Richmond Hill

Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.

Frank, Beaches

I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.

Helene, North York

My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.
