SUMP PUMP INSTALL & REPAIR - VAUGHAN, TORONTO & THE GTA

Sump Pump Installation & Repair in Vaughan — Protect Your Basement Year-Round

A properly installed and maintained sump pump is your basement's primary defence against groundwater flooding. Aviv Plumbing installs and repairs sump pumps across Vaughan, Toronto, and the GTA.

REQUEST SERVICE

A sump pump isn’t optional in many GTA homes — it’s the primary line of defence against groundwater intrusion. One heavy storm can flood a basement that hasn’t been properly protected. A sump pump failure during a storm is one of the most common and costly plumbing emergencies we respond to.

Aviv Plumbing provides professional sump pump installation, repair, and replacement for homes and businesses across Vaughan, Toronto, and the Greater Toronto Area. Whether you need a new installation, a failing pump replaced before the next storm, or a battery backup system added to your existing setup, our licensed plumbers design and service sump pump systems that provide reliable, year-round protection.

The best time to address a sump pump concern is before a storm — not during one. If your pump is more than 7 years old, making unusual sounds, running constantly, or has never been tested, call us before the next heavy rain.

WHEN TO CALL

  • Water collecting in the sump pit but the pump isn't activating
  • Pump running constantly — could indicate a failed float switch or undersized pump
  • Basement moisture, musty odours, or visible water staining on walls
  • Pump is more than 7-10 years old and has never been replaced
  • Loud or unusual sounds from the pump during operation
  • Flooding during heavy rain despite a pump being present
  • You have no battery backup and want protection during power outages
  • Your discharge line appears to be frozen, blocked, or incorrectly routed

WHAT WE DO

  • New sump pump installation — pit, liner, pump, float, and discharge
  • Primary pump replacement — all major brands and horsepower ratings
  • Battery backup sump pump installation — protection during power outages
  • Combination primary and backup system installation
  • Float switch replacement and adjustment
  • Discharge line repair, extension, and correct exterior termination
  • Alarm system installation — audible alert when water level is high
  • Annual inspection and testing — before storm season each spring

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1 — Assess Your Basement’s Needs: We evaluate groundwater levels, pit condition, current pump performance, and your discharge routing. We identify whether your current system is adequate or needs upgrading.

Step 2 — Recommend the Right System: We specify the right pump capacity for your home’s groundwater level and pit size — neither undersized nor oversized. We also recommend backup options based on your flood risk.

Step 3 — Professional Installation: All components are installed to manufacturer specifications and Ontario Plumbing Code requirements. Discharge lines terminate at the correct distance from the foundation.

Step 4 — Test Under Load and Educate: We test the pump by filling the pit and confirming the float activates at the right level. We show you how to test it yourself seasonally and what warning signs to watch for.

WHY AVIV?

Pre-Storm Installation — Don't Wait

We consistently replace sump pumps before major storms when homeowners call proactively. It’s almost always faster and less expensive than an emergency call during a flood.

Battery Backup Expertise

A primary pump is only as good as your power supply. We install battery backup systems that keep your basement protected during the extended power outages that often accompany the same storms that cause flooding.

Licensed and Code-Compliant

Sump pump discharge must be correctly routed away from the foundation and comply with local bylaws. Our licensed plumbers ensure every installation is compliant.

Upfront Pricing

Clear price before we start. We’ll tell you honestly whether your existing pump can be repaired or whether replacement is the right call.

FAQ

How often should a sump pump be replaced?

Most sump pumps have a service life of 7 to 10 years under normal operating conditions. Pumps in high-groundwater areas that run frequently may need replacement sooner. If your pump is in this age range, we recommend replacing it proactively rather than waiting for a failure during a storm.

If you live in an area with significant groundwater or flooding risk, yes. The storms that cause the most flooding also cause the most power outages. A battery backup system keeps your pump running when you need it most.

Constant running typically indicates either a very high water table during wet conditions (normal), a failed float switch stuck in the on position, or a pump that's undersized for your groundwater levels. We diagnose the cause accurately.

Yes. New sump pump installations involve excavating the pit location, installing a pit liner, pump, float, and discharge line. We assess the correct pit location based on your basement's drainage pattern. Most new installations are completed in a single day.
