Sump pump installation in Bradford.

Do I need a sump pump in Bradford?

If your basement gets water in the spring thaw or after storms, or you are finishing a basement on the heavy clay around Bradford, yes. We install the pit, pump, discharge and check valve, and add a sewage ejector where a basement bathroom sits below the main drain.

Bradford sits on heavy clay at the edge of the Holland Marsh, and the spring thaw and summer storms put real water into the weeping tiles across town. A sump pump is what keeps that water out of the basement. Seal Plumbing installs new sump systems in homes that never had one and replaces undersized or worn pumps, setting the pit, the discharge line and the check valve so the pump cycles properly and the water goes where it should.

If you are finishing a basement, the sump pump is only half the story. A basement bathroom below the main drain needs a sewage ejector system to lift waste water up to the sewer line. We install the ejector basin, the pump, the vent and the check valve as part of the full basement plumbing rough-in, built to the Ontario Plumbing Code and inspection ready.
