Reliable, Licensed Plumbers for Sump Pump Services
North York homes, especially those with basements, are at risk of flooding due to groundwater accumulation. To mitigate this, modern homes use a sump pit and sump pump system to collect and discharge excess water outside. In older homes, weeping tiles were often connected to the sanitary drain through a basement floor drain (running trap), which is no longer the recommended method.
A properly functioning sump pump is essential for protecting your basement from water damage. However, sump pumps can malfunction or fail over time due to wear and tear. If your sump pump isn’t working correctly, immediate action is necessary to prevent potential flooding.
At Mister Plumber and Sewer Expert, our licensed plumbers in North York specialize in sump pump inspection, repair, and replacement. With over 20 years of experience, we provide expert service to ensure your sump pump operates efficiently and reliably.

Sump Pump Repair vs. Replacement – What’s Right for You?
Sump Pump Repairs We Offer
Not all sump pump problems require a full replacement. Some issues can be effectively repaired, such as:
Float switch malfunctions – If your float switch is stuck or damaged, we can adjust or replace it.
Clogged inlets – Dirt, debris, or small stones can block the sump pump intake, reducing efficiency. We clear blockages to restore proper function.
Minor electrical problems – Faulty wiring or loose connections can sometimes be fixed without replacing the entire pump.
When Replacement is the Best Option
If your sump pump is outdated, rusted, inefficient, or has completely stopped working, replacing it is the safest choice. Our expert plumbers will:
Help you select the best sump pump for your home’s needs
Provide high-quality, durable sump pumps for long-term protection
Ensure professional installation for optimal performance
Most residential sump pumps come in 1/3 HP or 1/2 HP models, using 1.5-inch discharge pipes, which fit standard sump pits.
