How sump pumps work, how to tell when one is failing, and why battery backups matter during North York storms.
What the pump actually does
Drainage collects groundwater and delivers it to a pit. The pump lifts that water and discharges it away from the foundation, keeping the water table below your basement floor.
Signs a pump needs attention
Constant running, unusual noise, cycling on and off rapidly, visible rust, or a pump older than roughly a decade are all reasons to have it evaluated.
