Sump Pump Installation & Service Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our sump pump installation & service service in Calgary and Airdrie.
Most residential sump pumps last 5 to 7 years. Because they are mechanical devices submerged in water, they can fail without warning and should be checked annually.
Yes, we highly recommend one. Severe storms that cause flooding often cause power outages. Without power, a standard pump cannot run. A battery backup system runs on 12V power to keep protecting your home.
Pour a bucket of water into the sump basin. The water level should rise, trigger the float switch, and the pump should kick on, drain the water, and shut off automatically.
