When heavy rain hits, your sump pump is your first line of defense. We provide sump pump repair, replacement, and installation in North Bay to keep basements dry and protected year-round.
North Bay's geography — positioned between Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake with the rugged Canadian Shield as our backdrop — makes a reliable sump pump a critical part of every home. The combination of high water tables in areas like West Ferris and the heavy snowmelt from the surrounding hills can quickly turn a dry basement into a flood zone. At Apex Plumbing & Drain Services North Bay, we specialise in sump pump services designed to withstand the unique pressures of the Northern Ontario climate.
Prevent water damage before the spring freshet begins. Call us at (705) 535-0695 for immediate assistance or a system inspection.

Sump pump stopped working during a heavy rainstorm. Searched sump pump repair near me and Apex picked up immediately. Technician arrived within the hour, replaced the unit on the spot. Basement stayed completely dry.
Sump pump running non-stop but the pit wasn't clearing. Apex diagnosed a failed check valve and replaced it the same visit. Straightforward sump pump repair that two other companies missed entirely.
New sump pump installation after our original unit failed after 12 years. Apex sized the replacement correctly, installed a new discharge line and check valve, and tested the full system before leaving. Smooth process start to finish.
Called Apex for sump pump installation before spring melt. They installed a new submersible unit with a battery backup sump pump the same week. Power went out during the next storm and the backup held perfectly. Best call I made.
Float switch stuck and sump pump cycling every few seconds. Apex replaced the float switch, inspected the pit liner, and checked the discharge line in one visit. Fair invoice and no hard sell on parts we didn't need.
Discharge line froze and the sump pump alarm went off. Apex cleared the blockage, rerouted the line to prevent it freezing again, and tested the backup battery the same visit. Most thorough sump pump service I've found.
Bought a North Bay home and had the sump pump inspected before move-in. Apex tested the float, pump motor, check valve, and discharge line — found the backup battery had failed silently. Replaced everything the same visit. Real peace of mind.
Old pedestal sump pump needed full replacement. Apex installed a new submersible unit, replaced the basin liner, and added a water alarm. Upfront pricing, fast installation, clean job. Best sump pump company in North Bay I've hired.
Signs your sump pump needs attention include the pump running continuously without moving water, grinding or rattling noises during operation, the pump failing to activate when water rises in the pit, tripping the circuit breaker, or visible rust and corrosion on the unit. A pump over 7 to 10 years old showing any of these symptoms is usually better replaced than repaired. Our technicians assess the unit on arrival and give you a clear recommendation before any work begins.
Yes. A failed sump pump during a storm is one of the most urgent calls we handle. We respond to emergency sump pump repair and replacement requests in North Bay and surrounding areas — including evenings. Our trucks carry replacement pumps and parts so most emergency sump pump installations are completed the same visit without a return trip.
A sump pump running continuously without clearing the pit is usually caused by a stuck float switch, a failed check valve sending water back into the pit, a clogged discharge line, a frozen or blocked exterior discharge pipe, or a pump that is undersized for the volume of groundwater. Each of these has a different fix — our technicians diagnose the exact cause on arrival rather than replacing parts blindly.
Our sump pump installation service covers removal of the old unit, installation of the new submersible pump correctly sized for your pit and water volume, check valve and discharge line connection, float switch setup and testing, and a full operational test before we leave. For new installs we also inspect the pit liner and sump basin for cracks or debris. All work meets Ontario Building Code requirements.
Yes — especially in areas where power outages often occur precisely during the heaviest storms, when your basement needs protection the most. A battery backup sump pump keeps your basement dry even when the grid goes down. We install both battery backup and water-powered backup systems. If your existing backup battery has never been tested or replaced, it may have failed silently — we check this on every service visit.
Yes. Every technician at Apex Plumbing & Drain Services holds a valid Ontario plumbing licence and carries full liability insurance. All sump pump repair and installation work meets Ontario Building Code requirements. You get a written quote before we start, a clean job when we finish, and a fully tested system before we leave your property.
