Prevent Basement Flooding With A Sump Pump

After the recent flooding in the Mississauga/Toronto area, many home owners are looking at options to protect their home from future flooding, and damage.

One of the best ways to prevent a flooded basement is by installing a sump pump in your home.

Sump pumps work by being installed in a pit in the lowest part of a building. They are placed in a basin, usually below your basement, that collects water through drains, or naturally through the soil. The pump then pumps the water from the pit to a safe location outside your home, preventing water from affecting your basement.

Severe storms often cause power failures, and since sump pumps operate on electricity, it is a very good idea to get a system installed that includes back up battey power. These systems are usually powered by a marine battery if your homes AC power source is knocked out.

Systems without backup power can also be upgraded to include a secondary power source to prevent flooding in homes that already have AC powered systems.

Furnace King Is Happy to partner with Renmark Plumbing And Heating to offer sump pump installation and service to all our customers.

Don’t put up with another wet basement again.

Furnaces, Air Conditioners, and Flooded Basements

Monday evening saw record breaking down pour in the GTA, and Furnace King would like to remind you of the danger water damage poses to your HVAC equipment.

If your basement has flooded at all, it is vital to have your furnace inspected to insure the water has not damaged the equipment. If you don’t have it inspected, you may find out your funace no longer usable when the weather cools back down, or worse, it may become a danger to your home.

Flooding outside of your home may have affected your Air conditioner as well, so refrain from turning it back on without having it properly inspected.

We can send a technician out to your home to inspect your equipment and determine if it has been damaged.

We are on the approved contractor list for a number of insurance companies, and are familiar with the claims approval process. If there is damage, we can generate a report and send it to your insurance company for you to expidite any necessary repairs, or replacements in your home.

Don’t get left out in the cold next winter, and don’t get stuck in the heat for the rest of this summer. Have your furnace and air conditioner inspected to make sure it is safe and operational as soon as you notice any water in your basement.
