Sump pumps & backup systems · St. Thomas & Elgin County
Keep the basement
dry.
Basement flooding happens fast — heavy rain, or a power outage right when you need the pump most. I install high-quality Liberty Pumps sump systems with backup options so your home stays dry and protected. Proper pit, discharge, alarms, and testing — done right by your local one-man expert.

Why protect it
Cheap insurance against a
flooded basement.
Stops costly water damage
A flooded basement means ruined floors, drywall, and mold remediation. A proper sump system is cheap insurance against all of it.
Code-compliant + alarmed
Sealed pit, check valve, proper discharge to the exterior, and a high-water alarm so you're never caught off guard.
Reliable Liberty Pumps
I install Liberty — a trusted North American pump brand, sourced locally through Emco and Noble, with parts you can get for years.
Backup for power outages
Storms knock out power exactly when you need the pump most. Water-powered or battery backup keeps it running when the grid doesn't.
Install, replace, or upgrade
New pit, swapping a worn-out pump, or adding a backup to an existing setup — all handled by the same plumber, start to finish.
Local, one-man accountability
St. Thomas-based, owner-operated. The person who quotes it installs it and stands behind it.
