Why Sump Pumps Are Essential for Toronto Homes
Toronto’s combination of a high water table, dense soil, and ageing infrastructure makes homes here especially vulnerable to water buildup. Areas with clay soil or older drainage systems are even more at risk. When water surrounds your foundation, it creates hydrostatic pressure that pushes moisture through cracks, window wells, and joints.
Without a proper flood prevention system, that water can seep into your basement, damaging flooring, drywall, and valuables. A sump pump works by collecting excess water from your weeping tile system and redirecting it away from your home through a discharge pipe. It’s a proactive way to manage foundation drainage and prevent costly repairs down the line.
Our Sump Pump Installation Process
We believe in making things clear, efficient, and stress-free for our customers. Here’s how our installation process works from start to finish:
Free On-Site Evaluation & Moisture Reading
We start with a free on-site evaluation, where we assess your basement’s moisture levels using a foundation moisture sensor, review existing foundation drainage, and determine the best location for your sump pit. This no-obligation service gives you a complete understanding of the situation before moving forward.
Choosing the Right Pump System
No two homes are the same, so we take the time to recommend the right system based on your basement’s layout, water issues, and history. Whether you need a submersible sump pump, pedestal sump pump, or battery backup sump pump, we’ll match you with the setup that makes the most sense for your home.
Professional Installation by Licensed Technicians
Our team of licensed professionals handles every step with care and precision. From pit excavation and discharge pipe connection to installing the check valve, float switch, and plugging into a proper GFCI outlet, we follow all code requirements and best practices.
Testing and Clean-Up
Once everything is installed, we thoroughly test the system to make sure it’s working as it should. That includes running the sump pump alarm, testing the float switch, and confirming the outflow through the discharge pipe. We also clean up the work area and do a complete walk-through with you so you know exactly how your system works.
Warranty & Ongoing Support
We stand behind our work. Every sump pump installation comes with a solid warranty, and we offer optional service plans to keep your system running at its best. Our sump pump maintenance packages include regular pit cleaning, float switch testing, and check valve inspections to keep everything running smoothly.
Battery Backup Installation for Peace of Mind
Want even more protection? Adding a battery backup sump pump is a smart move, especially during Toronto’s unpredictable storm seasons. When the power goes out, your backup kicks in, keeping your system running and your basement dry. It’s a simple add-on that brings a lot of peace of mind.

Types of Sump Pumps We Install
We install a range of sump pump systems, each suited to different needs, layouts, and levels of water risk. Here’s a quick breakdown of the main types we offer:
Pedestal Sump Pump
A pedestal sump pump has the motor positioned above the sump pit, making it easy to access for maintenance. These pumps are a great fit for homes with smaller pits or limited space. They’re affordable and straightforward to service, although they tend to be a bit louder and aren’t as powerful as other models.
Submersible Sump Pump
For quiet, heavy-duty operation, a submersible sump pump is often the way to go. Installed inside a sealed basin, these pumps are submerged and operate silently while handling larger volumes of water. They’re perfect for finished basements or properties that need more robust flood protection and come with a longer pump capacity (GPH) and lifespan.
Battery Backup Systems
A battery backup sump pump gives your home a second line of defence during power outages. When the power goes out — often during a storm — your backup kicks in automatically, ensuring continuous protection. It’s an ideal solution for homeowners looking for extra overflow protection.
Water-Powered Backup Pumps
Another great option is a water-powered backup sump pump. These units use municipal water pressure to keep working when the power is out. They’re ideal for homeowners who prefer to avoid battery maintenance or want to limit their reliance on electrical systems. If your home has consistent city water pressure, this is a dependable option.
Sump Pump Maintenance Services Available
Like any system, your sump pump needs a little upkeep to keep doing its job. Our sump pump maintenance services are designed to catch issues early and extend the life of your system. We’ll clean your sump pit, inspect your discharge pipe, test the float switch, and make sure your backup system is ready for anything. Ask us about our annual service plans and keep your basement dry all year long.
Sump Pump Maintenance Services Available
Wondering if your home needs a sump pump or if your current one is doing its job? Here are some signs it’s time to take a closer look:
- Damp spots or puddles in the basement
- Musty smells or visible mould
- Peeling paint or warped baseboards
- A pump that runs constantly or not at all
- Rust or buildup around the float switch or check valve
- A unit that’s older and reaching the end of its sump pump lifespan
If any of these sound familiar, now’s the time to act. Waiting too long can lead to a full-blown sump pump failure, and once water gets in, the damage can be extensive and expensive.

Testimonials
Janice & Rob
The Beaches (Toronto)
“Our basement was a damp nightmare – moldy, leaks everywhere. We had other companies look at it, but GAMCON was the only one who truly understood the problem. They used this heavy-duty membrane stuff…it’s overkill, honestly, but in the best way! Now our basement’s completely dry, and we even finished it. Feels like a whole new part of our home.”
Sarah T
Etobicoke
“We bought an older home in Etobicoke with a partially finished basement. We were nervous about hidden water issues. GAMCON’s inspection was SO thorough, and they found some old cracks that needed fixing. The best part? They explained everything in plain language, and their waterproofing materials were top-notch. Now we sleep easy knowing our basement is protected.”
Costa and Maria P
Greektown (Toronto)
“We run a family restaurant on the Danforth, and it’s been in this building for generations. A few years ago, we noticed water seeping in – a disaster waiting to happen. GAMCON found some foundation issues we didn’t even know about. They used these crazy strong injections and fixed it right. Their work is solid – just like the materials they use – and we know our business is safe.”
Steve M
Property Manager, North York
“Our office building in North York had a leaky basement that was affecting storage. GAMCON came highly recommended for getting the job done fast and right. Not only did they use the best waterproofing stuff we’ve seen, but their crew was super efficient. Minimal mess, and now those leaks are a distant memory.”
