Do I need a professional to install a sump pump in Ottawa?
It’s nice to know that your sump pump will be there when you need it, even if it may only happen once every 10 years. However, if installed incorrectly, it can do more harm than good.
Installing a sump pump is certainly not an easy task and can take anywhere from 6 to 8 hours, depending on how thick the basement floor is. Even a small water leak in the wrong place can lead to thousands of dollars in repair costs. Depending on where you install the unit and what’s around it, a sump pump can save you a fortune, but its proper setup requires tremendous experience and professional skills.
To prevent any risks and save your nerves and budget, contact our qualified specialists to install a sump pump in Ottawa properly. We will make sure that your device stands on a solid surface and take measures to prevent debris from getting into the unit. To do this, we remove silt, stones, and gravel from the site. Without this precaution, the rising water can move loose objects out of place, which can cause damage to the device. Our sincere recommendation would be to leave this job to the true professionals who know what they are doing. Our team of Ottawa sump pump installation professionals will ensure that you have the right unit for your basement and that it will work properly when you need it to keep the space dry!
How much does it cost to replace a sump pump in Ottawa?
It is often more cost-effective to replace a sump pump than to repair it, especially if it is nearing the end of its service life. Replacing a sump pump will cost you less than installing one, as there is usually no digging required, but the final price will depend on the following aspects:
- The type of chosen pump. Pedestal units are the most inexpensive ones to install or repair, while a submersible one will cost you more.
- Floor type. The type of floor directly affects labour costs and, ultimately, the total cost to replace a sump pump in Ottawa. For example, excavating a dirt floor in a basement is easier and faster than drilling a concrete floor.
- Preliminary damage. If there is water accumulation or damage in your home before replacement, you will be asked to dry the place before installing the new sump pump. The process of drying enclosed spaces such as basements can take considerable time and money.
- Labour. Replacing a sump pump involves a mix of plumbing, excavation, preparation, and electrical work. If the replacement specialist has to completely renovate your property to prepare the sump pit, the cost may increase.
We at Superior Plumbing & Heating guarantee premium-quality replacement at a fair and reasonable price. Remember that you can spend money either to protect your property or restore it. The price of hiring professionals is worth paying for your peace of mind and security!
