Muskoka sump
& well pump monitoring.
Sump and well pump monitoring watches how your pumps run. If a sump runs nonstop, stops running, or a well pump short-cycles, we know it is failing and send someone before the basement floods or the water stops.

A quiet pump is a flooded basement
Sump and well pumps fail without warning: a stuck float, a tripped breaker or a power cut during spring melt. With nobody at the cottage, water rises for days before anyone knows.
Water damage is the leading cause of home insurance claims in Canada.

Mould can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of water damage.

How Sump & Well Pump Monitoring Works in Muskoka
- 1
Sensor on the pump
A vibration or contact sensor tracks every pump cycle.
- 2
Normal pattern learned
We learn how often your pump usually runs in each season.
- 3
Abnormal alert
Nonstop running, no running, or rapid cycling triggers an alert.
- 4
Repair or replace
We inspect, clear the float or dispatch a plumber.
Every risk an empty cottage faces, covered.
Commercial-grade Canadian monitoring hardware, the kind trusted by airports and utilities, set up room by room for your property. Tap a sensor to see what it does.
Temperature & freeze
- Where it goes
- Main living area, crawlspace, pump house, bunkie
- What it monitors
- Air temperature to ±0.2°C, from -40°C to 60°C, all winter.
- When it alerts
- Indoor temperature drops toward 5°C or the heat stops climbing after a cycle.
- Why it matters
- A failed furnace in January can freeze and burst lines within hours. We catch the drop before the pipes do.
From a reading to a crew at your door.
- 01Sensors report in
Each sensor checks its zone on a schedule and watches its limits around the clock, so an out-of-range reading sends right away.
- 02No Wi-Fi needed
The hub connects over cellular, with Wi-Fi and satellite backup on larger properties. If one drops, it switches on its own.
- 03Keeps running in outages
Built-in battery backup (3 to 5 days) keeps it reporting through storm outages.
- 04We get the alert first
Alerts reach our team by text, email and phone. You get notified too, on your own settings.
- 05A crew rolls
We call, confirm, and send someone to fix it. You get a photo report when it's handled.
Long-range sensors reach a boathouse or bunkie up to 10 km from the hub on our larger setups.
Connectivity is built in. Nothing to set up on your router, nothing to break when you close up.
Wireless sensors run for years. We check and swap batteries on scheduled visits.
