Protect your basement from flooding with a professionally installed sump pump system. We install new sump pumps, replace aging units, and add battery backup systems for complete protection.
A properly installed sump pump is your basement's best defense against flooding. Whether you need a new sump pump system or are replacing an old one, professional installation ensures reliable protection when you need it most. Plombier Gatineau installs sump pump systems throughout the Outaouais region, from basic setups to comprehensive systems with battery backup.
Sump pump installation involves more than dropping a pump in a hole. Proper pit sizing, pump selection, discharge routing, check valve installation, and electrical connections all affect system reliability. We install sump systems designed to protect your basement for years to come.

Costs depend on whether a pit exists, pump type selected, and if you want battery backup. Basic installations start around $800-$1,200. Complete systems with backup run $1,500-$3,000+.
If a pit already exists, installation takes 1-2 hours. New pit excavation and complete installation takes 3-5 hours.
We strongly recommend it. Power outages often occur during storms — exactly when you need your sump pump most. Battery backup is inexpensive insurance.
Size depends on water volume and pit depth. Most residential applications use 1/3 to 1/2 HP pumps. We'll recommend the right size for your situation.
For a sump-pump installation, describe whether a basin and discharge line already exist or whether this is a new arrangement. Include the reason for the project, any previous water problems and the available installation records. A replacement pump and a new basement drainage project should not be quoted as though they were identical.
Ask how the proposed equipment fits the basin, controls and discharge route. State whether you want backup operation considered and what existing equipment is present. The suitability of a backup arrangement depends on the actual system; it should be specified rather than assumed from the word “backup.”
Clarify any electrical work, access, floor opening and reinstatement included in the scope. Request the exact equipment model, operating information and demonstration arrangements before handover. Keep the resulting documents with the property records so future maintenance or repair starts with the correct system information.
