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
