Mold from a damp basement isn't just ugly — it's dangerous.
Hidden mold spores from a wet basement are linked to asthma attacks, chronic coughs, allergies and serious respiratory illness — especially in kids, seniors and anyone with a weak immune system. Every day you wait, it spreads further into your walls, insulation and air.
"The 6-hour August blackout would have destroyed our basement. Their backup ran the whole time. Best money we ever spent on this house."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a battery backup sump pump?+
In Markham, yes. Power outages happen during exactly the storms that flood your basement. A backup runs 6–12 hours on its own battery and pays for itself the first time it saves your basement.
How long does a sump pump last?+
7–10 years for a quality submersible, less for cheap pedestal pumps. We recommend proactive replacement around year 8 before failure.
What size pump do I need?+
Most Markham homes need a 1/3 HP cast-iron submersible moving 2,500+ GPH. Larger homes or high water tables: 1/2 HP. We'll size it correctly during inspection.
How much does sump pump installation cost?+
New primary pump: $700–$1,400 installed. Battery backup: $1,400–$2,200 installed. New sump pit dig: add $1,000–$1,800.
