Sump pumps protect North Vancouver homes from groundwater and heavy rain intrusion. Whether your pump has failed, is short cycling, or your home needs a new installation, we assess the system carefully and recommend the most reliable solution.
Every visit begins with a $99 call-out fee for a visual first check. If deeper electrical or discharge testing is required, Investigation Time may apply. We confirm this before proceeding.

If your sump pump has stopped completely, see Sump pump not working. If flooding risk is immediate, contact Emergency Plumbing.
Some sump issues can be repaired without replacing the full unit.
Stuck or failing float switches are common and can often be corrected.
A failed check valve can cause water to return to the pit and increase cycling.
Improper discharge routing or partial blockages can reduce pump effectiveness.
Loose connections or faulty outlets can sometimes be resolved without replacing the pump.
In some cases, replacing the pump is more reliable than repeated repair.
Older pumps lose efficiency and are more prone to failure during heavy rain events.
If the motor is burned out or repeatedly tripping, replacement is often the safer option.
If groundwater conditions have changed, the existing pump may not keep up.
Frequent service calls may indicate a system that needs upgrading.
We confirm pump type, size, float condition, and visible discharge routing.
We simulate operation to confirm switch and motor performance.
We check that water exits properly and does not return to the pit.
We outline repair versus replacement options and confirm pricing before proceeding.
For replacements, we install, align discharge piping, and confirm proper cycling before completion.
