Heavy rainfall, melting snow, and excess ground moisture can put homes across Toronto and the GTA at risk of basement flooding. A properly installed sump pump helps collect groundwater and move it safely away from your foundation before it leads to water damage.
At Cheap Plumber, we provide sump pump installation, repair, and replacement in Toronto and the GTA to help homeowners protect their basements from leaks, mould growth, and structural issues. Whether you need to fix an existing unit or add a new system, our team delivers reliable solutions designed to keep your home dry and protected.
Sump pumps are usually installed by a licensed plumbing company. A professional plumber can install a new sump pump, replace a failing unit, and complete related work, including discharge line connections, sump pit modifications, and battery backup pump installation. If the project also includes drainage improvements or basement flood-prevention upgrades, the overall scope of work can affect the final cost.

A properly installed sump pump is one of the best ways to protect your basement from groundwater buildup and flooding. We install sump pump systems in new homes, older homes without an existing setup, and properties that have had previous water intrusion issues.

We repair all types of sump pump problems, including stuck float switches, blocked discharge lines, power issues, and complete pump failure. Our repair service includes detailed troubleshooting, clearing clogs, checking and repairing discharge lines, fixing or replacing float switches, and testing system performance to make sure your sump pump works properly when you need it most.

If your sump pump is making unusual noises, running constantly, not turning on, or allowing water to collect in your basement, it may need professional attention. These issues can quickly lead to water damage and expensive cleanup if ignored. Cheap Plumber can inspect the system, find the source of the problem, and restore proper operation before it becomes a major flooding issue.
Most sump pumps have a lifespan of about 7 to 10 years, depending on how often they run, how well they are maintained, and the quality of the unit. As a sump pump ages, it may become less reliable, especially during periods of heavy rain or spring snowmelt. Cheap Plumber can assess your system and let you know whether repair or replacement is the better option.

Any of these issues can increase the risk of basement flooding, water damage, and mould growth. Cheap Plumber provides thorough troubleshooting and repair services to get your system working properly again.
Yes, a sump pump can fail during a storm, especially if the power goes out or the system cannot keep up with a high volume of water.

A battery backup sump pump is a smart investment for homeowners who want extra protection during storms and power outages. It provides added peace of mind by helping your system continue working even when the main power supply fails.

A few days ago the sink in the powder room started to leak. The pipe was corroded where the trap is located. I called Max and he sent Andres who replaced the pipe and left the powder room in perfect order. He was fast and efficient. I’ve used Max and his team for 10 years for major jobs replacing lead water lines in the front yard and installing a much-needed backwater valve under my house to prevent flooding during heavy rains. During a winter freeze, my pipes froze inside the wall and burst at midnight. Max’s team was here by breakfast and moved the vulnerable pipes from the exterior wall to inside the ceiling. Hardworking, decent, efficient crew.
We have had a great experience with Cheap Plumber. They are reasonably priced, offer good advice, and do a quick and professional job. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for plumbing services for their kitchen.
Very satisfied with the quality of work. Very nice gentleman. Punctual. Took the time to explain everything to me. Would highly recommend them to anyone. I will call them again if I need work done.
We got a fast quote on email and a quick appointment slot for our small job. The two guys who came to do the job were efficient and pleasant. Exactly what we had hoped, a small job done well and quickly.
I was renovating the basement of my 100-year-old house to replace the very old crumbling clay horizontal sewer line out to the street. I had several unsatisfactory quotes from other plumbers. I then contacted Cheap Plumber. Max was very reasonable and very efficient and timely. They also suggested a backwash valve that will prevent the sewer from ever backing up into the house. I agreed and they provided an excellent price and did a superb job. This week, I decided to install the Moen Flo valve (sold by Home Depot Canada and Amazon.ca) that shuts off all water to the house – IF ever there is a leak anywhere in the house in the toilet or water tank etc. I immediately contacted Max – who provided an excellent price and was able to install it shortly after the valve arrived. I was very pleased as no leaks and they cleaned up afterwards. I will use Max and Cheap Plumber for any future plumbing jobs. I strongly recommend this company.
Max and his team installed a back water valve in my house, replaced some of the water lines, installed new water meter for me. Everything was done quickly, professionally, perfect clean up, filled out and submitted the forms for the rebate from the city. When I noticed a tiny leak after the job completion, a technician was sent over within minutes and everything was fixed very quickly. The services were reasonably priced, and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone with plumbing needs. Thank you!
Price was very reasonable, job was done correctly, water temperature issue was resolved. We had multiple people come in to the house before and did not fix the issue, Cheap Plumber was able to correct the situation. We are happy with the service and would definitely call again if we ever run into any issue.
I had to get the water service line replaced because of the new smart water meter requirement. Got quotes on a monday. Went with Max and although I was a little concerned about the lack of reviews on Homestars, I went with my gut and my gut was right. The work was done by wednesday (in by 8:30 out by 3:30). Max and his guys were punctual, careful about maintaining site cleanliness and very respectful. His price was the best of three quotes and he is honest and straightforward in his communication. His follow up once the job was complete was great. I highly recommend Cheap Plumber for any plumbing issue you may have and I am happy with my new water pressure!
I was one of six houses flooded on my street. All of us had plumbing work done, and I heard only good reports about the work and price.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Max to my friends, expecting they would get the same positive results.
Our 98 year old cast iron soil pipe needed replacing. Replacing it was tricky as we had a newly renovated kitchen and basement bathroom and the stack was embedded between the outside brick wall and the new tiles and cabinets. Max and his crew did an amazing job of replacing the stack with only minimal damage to the basement bathroom and none to the kitchen. He then had a crew come in to restore the wall, tiles, etc in the basement. The team is hardworking, trustworthy, and professional. This is the second job they have done for us and both times we were more than satisfied. Ps. They are also just really nice people. Worth every penny.
Andrew did a great job fixing our drain. He was punctual, polite, knowledgeable and very patient with my questions. He quickly identified the problem (tree roots in drain pipe) and worked hard on snaking the tough roots until he was satisfied everything was clear. We were so lucky to have his help. Thanks Max and Andrew!
