City Rebates for Sump Pump Installation
(City of Toronto Only)
With the high financial investment required for installations of a sump pump, the city has initiated a rebate program to assist residents financially. This initiative is known as the New Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program. Through this program, homeowners in Toronto are eligible to receive up to 80% of the installation cost back, with the rebate cap set at $1,750. This amount includes the cost of labor, materials, taxes, and necessary government permits.
To qualify for the rebate, the installation must be conducted by a licensed city plumber. Undertaking the installation of the sump pump on your own risks personal liability for any issues that may arise.

How Does a Sump Pump Installation Work?
The operation of drainage pumps is as follows:
Water collection
The water drainage pump system, installed in the lower part of the basement, collects sewage or groundwater.
Activation
The float switch automatically activates the pump when the water level in the basement/sump reaches a certain mark.
Pumping
The pump sucks up the water and transfers it to the discharge point.
Deactivation
When the water level in the basement/sump decreases, the float switch turns off the pump.
Backup system
In the absence of electricity, the operation of the drainage pump is ensured by a battery system.
