Am in same situation living in Mtl. Went out and purchased 4 cattle mats 4 x 6 each from a co-op store for $250.00 total cost. They are 1" thick with a ribbed bottom and a diamond plate tread design on top for slippage. Oh yes, the cattle mat is made from solid rubber (recycled tires)and will absorb most of the noise generated from the pump motors.
