Licensed and Reliable Local Plumbers
Basements in Etobicoke are highly susceptible to flooding due to natural groundwater accumulation. To prevent this, weeping tiles are installed along the foundation’s footing to collect and redirect water. Older homes in Etobicoke often had weeping tiles connected to the sanitary drain through a basement floor drain (running trap). However, modern homes use a sump pit and sump pump system to manage excess water by discharging it outside.
A sump pump is a critical component in protecting your home from water damage, but like any mechanical device, it can wear out, malfunction, or fail completely. If your sump pump is not working properly, immediate action is necessary to prevent potential flooding.
At Mister Plumber and Sewer Expert, our licensed plumbers in Etobicoke specialize in sump pump inspection, repair, and replacement. With over 20 years of experience, we have the expertise to diagnose issues, perform necessary repairs, or install a new, high-quality sump pump.

Signs of Sump Pump Failure You Shouldn’t Ignore
If you notice any of the following issues, your sump pump may be malfunctioning:
Loud or unusual noises coming from the sump pit

Burning smell near the sump pump area
No water discharge from the outlet pipe
Pump running but not moving water
Water seepage around the sump pit or foundation walls
Continuous operation of the pump without water in the pit
Oil slicks on the water surface in the sump pit
Visible rust or corrosion on the pump body
If you notice any of these signs or other unusual symptoms, contact us for a thorough inspection and professional sump pump service in Etobicoke.
Sump Pump Repair or Replacement – What’s the Best Option?
Sump Pump Repairs We Offer
Not all sump pump issues require a full replacement. Some common problems can be fixed, including:
Float switch problems – If your pump has a separate float switch that isn’t working, we can adjust, repair, or reinstall it.
Clogged inlets – Over time, debris from storm drains, including dirt, small stones, and pipe fragments, can clog the sump pump intake. Cleaning the pit and removing blockages can restore proper function.
Minor electrical issues – Some problems, such as faulty connections, may be resolved without replacing the entire pump.
When Replacement is Necessary
If your sump pump is old, rusted, inefficient, or has completely stopped working, replacement is the best option. Our expert plumbers will:
Help you choose the right sump pump for your home
Supply top-quality, reliable pumps for long-lasting protection
Ensure proper installation for optimal performance
Most residential sump pumps come in 1/3 HP or 1/2 HP models, both of which use 1.5” discharge pipes and fit well into existing sump pits.
The Importance of Regular Sump Pump Maintenance
Toronto and Etobicoke have seen an increase in heavy rainstorms in recent years, leading to basement flooding in many areas. To prevent costly water damage, homeowners should:
Inspect their sump pump regularly for visible issues
Clean the sump pit to remove dirt, debris, and obstructions
Test the pump periodically to ensure it activates properly
Upgrade old or inefficient pumps before they fail
