Sump Pump Installation in Mississauga
Our client in Mississauga reached out after noticing recurring basement dampness and light flooding during seasonal rainfall. Following a full inspection, we found that hydrostatic pressure beneath the concrete slab was forcing water into the basement. To address this, our team recommended a professional sump pump installation paired with improved interior drainage.
Installing a Reliable Sump Pump System in Mississauga
We began by cutting and excavating a sump pit at the lowest point of the basement floor. A high-capacity submersible pump with a built-in float switch was installed to automatically activate when water levels rose. The pump was connected to a solid PVC discharge line, directing water away from the foundation. A check valve was added to prevent back-flow, and a battery backup system ensured the pump would operate during any power interruption—a critical feature for Mississauga’s stormy seasons.
Testing, Finishing, and Long-Term Results
After installation, the system underwent a complete test under simulated heavy rainfall to ensure consistent performance. We also cleared and flushed the existing perimeter drain tiles to improve water flow toward the new pit. Once verified, the area was re-poured with fresh concrete and finished cleanly to restore the floor’s surface.
Result
Since completion, the homeowner reports a completely dry basement with no trace of dampness or odour. The new sump pump system now provides long-term protection against flooding while preserving the home’s structure and comfort. This project highlights our commitment to delivering dependable waterproofing upgrades that safeguard homes across the GTA.
