Protect Your Home with Mr. Furnace Sump Pump Installation and Repair
Many homeowners don’t realize how vulnerable their basement is until the damage is done. One heavy rainfall, a spring thaw, or a backed-up drain can lead to serious flooding. Carpet damage, warped wood, mold growth, ruined keepsakes, and foundation issues are just a few of the consequences. Mr. Furnace helps homeowners avoid all of that with expertly installed sump pumps that detect and redirect water before it becomes a threat.
You’re more likely to need a sump pump if your home is:
- Located near a lake, river, or in a floodplain.
- Built in a high-precipitation zone like Niagara.
- Situated in an area with a high water table.
- An older structure with potential foundation cracks.
New Sump Pumps
Most sump pumps last about 7 to 10 years depending on use, quality, and maintenance. If you’re unsure whether your current pump is still working reliably, we can perform a complete inspection and give you expert advice. Our team will also provide you with a competitive sump pump installation quote customized to your needs.
Backup Sump Pumps
If your power goes out during a storm, your primary sump pump could stop working—leaving your home exposed. That’s where battery- or water-powered backup sump pumps come in. We install reliable backup systems that kick in when you need them most, keeping your basement dry even during a blackout. Our plumbers also show you how to test and maintain your backup system year-round.
Ejector Pumps
If your home has a basement bathroom or laundry room below your sewer line, you likely have an ejector pump. We install and replace these systems too—ensuring wastewater is safely pumped to your main sewer or septic line without issue.
Don’t wait until water’s already creeping in. Contact Mr. Furnace to install or upgrade your sump pump system today.
