Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pumps in Calgary

What is a sump pump?

A sump pump is a sealed drainage system installed beneath your basement or crawl space that collects excess groundwater and pumps it safely away from your home. Sump pumps help prevent basement flooding, foundation damage, and moisture buildup by directing water outdoors before it can cause costly water damage.

Yes. Noise, constant cycling, and vibration are common signs of a failing motor or pressure sensor. We diagnose the issue, check the pressure settings, inspect the pump chamber, and repair or replace worn components to restore stable performance.

Most pumps have a typical lifespan of 10–15 years, and newer systems are quieter, more energy-efficient, and built to better handle Calgary’s high mineral content. If your pump is older, frequently noisy, unable to maintain consistent pressure, or causing pressure drops, replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. 

Yes. Annual maintenance helps extend the pump’s lifespan and reduces the risk of unexpected failure. We clean components, check rusted or failed components or rocks and debris at bottom of pits, test electrical connections, and ensure the pump is operating efficiently.
It’s the most important thing behind the walls. If you’re putting in new floors and drywall, you’re making a big investment, and a reliable sump pump is what keeps that investment from getting ruined. We make sure your pump is sized right and moving water away from the foundation properly so you don’t have to worry about groundwater seeping in and destroying your new space.

During heavy rainfall, it’s normal for a sump pump to run more often. But if it won’t shut off, the problem is usually drainage outside the home.

 

If the discharge pipe drains too close to the foundation, the water can flow right back toward the house and into the sump pit. Poor grading around the home can also cause rainwater to collect near the foundation.

 

Extending the discharge line, improving grading, or temporarily diverting water away from the house during extreme storms can help your sump pump keep up and prevent it from running nonstop.
