New installs
If water collects in your crawl space during Vancouver's fall-to-spring rainy season and can't drain by gravity, a sump at the low point — often with drain pipes feeding it — moves it out.
Backup options
Power outages and heavy rain often arrive together. Options for keeping water managed during an outage include battery backup pumps and other approaches; the right choice depends on how much water your crawl space takes in and how long outages typically last where you live. We'll walk you through backup options for your home.
Replacing an old sump
Pumps that run constantly, cycle on and off rapidly, fail, or let water rise anyway may be undersized, worn out or fighting a bigger problem. We check the pump, basin and discharge and recommend a fix.
The install
- Basin at the low point

Signs your pump needs attention
Constant running, rapid cycling, unusual noise, or water rising in the basin all suggest a problem. Older pumps should be checked before they fail during a storm.
