Why Toronto Homes Need Superior Pumping Systems
Local conditions demand professional-grade solutions
Extreme Weather Patterns
Intense Storm Events
Toronto now experiences 100-year storms every 5 years. Single pumps cannot handle 100mm rainfall in 3 hours - you need multiple pumps working together.
Spring Thaw Flooding
Rapid snowmelt combined with frozen ground creates massive water volumes. March-April sees 300% increase in pump failures.
Power Grid Failures
Ice storms and severe weather cause 15-20 power outages annually. Without battery backup, your basement floods when you need protection most.
Winter Discharge Freezing
Discharge lines freeze in -20°C weather, causing pump burnout and flooding. IceGuard systems prevent this catastrophic failure.
Aging Infrastructure Risks
Combined Sewer Overflows
31% of Toronto uses combined sewers that backup during heavy rain
High Water Table Areas
Lakeshore, Beaches, Humber Bay require continuous pumping
Clay Soil Saturation
Poor drainage means water sits against foundation for weeks
Basement Apartments
200,000+ rental units at risk, requiring reliable protection
Ravine Lot Drainage
Properties near ravines face severe runoff and erosion
Construction Dewatering
New developments alter water tables, overwhelming pumps
