Sump Pump Installation & Repair in Gatineau

Complete Sump Pump Services in Gatineau

Your sump pump is your basement's first line of defense against flooding. When it works properly, you barely notice it. When it fails, you can face thousands of dollars in water damage, destroyed belongings, and mold growth. Plombier Gatineau provides complete sump pump services including installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency replacement throughout the Outaouais region.

The Gatineau area's high water table and seasonal flooding make sump pumps essential for most homes with basements. We install and service all types of sump pumps, from basic pedestal models to submersible pumps with battery backup systems. Our goal is to ensure your basement stays dry year-round, even during spring thaws and heavy rainstorms.

Sump Pump Problems We Solve

Our licensed plumbers have the experience and equipment to handle:

• Pump Won't Start — A sump pump that won't activate when water rises leaves your basement vulnerable. We diagnose and fix electrical and mechanical failures.
• Runs Continuously — A pump that never stops may have a stuck float switch, check valve problem, or undersized capacity for your water volume.
• Strange Noises — Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds indicate worn bearings, impeller damage, or debris in the pump.
• Short Cycling — Rapid on-off cycling wears out pumps prematurely and usually indicates float switch or check valve issues.
• No Battery Backup — Power outages often coincide with storms when you need your pump most. We install reliable backup systems.
• Old or Unreliable Pump — Sump pumps typically last 7-10 years. If yours is aging, replacement before failure is wise.
