Sump Pump FAQ
How much does sump pump installation cost?
Sump pump installation typically costs $500-$1,500 for a standard submersible pump. Replacement of an existing pump runs $400-$900 installed. New pit excavation ranges from $1,000-$3,000.
How often should a sump pump be replaced?
Most submersible sump pumps last 7-10 years. Pedestal pumps can last 10-15 years. Proactive replacement is recommended as the pump approaches end of life.
Do I need a permit for sump pump installation?
Replacing an existing pump typically does not require a permit. New pit excavation or discharge line relocation usually does. Your licensed plumber should pull any required permits.
What is a battery backup sump pump?
A battery backup activates when your primary pump fails or power goes out during a storm. It connects to a deep-cycle battery and can run 5-10 hours continuously.
What maintenance does a sump pump need?
Annual maintenance includes testing the float switch by pouring water into the pit, inspecting the discharge line for blockages or freeze damage, cleaning debris from the pit, checking the check valve, and verifying the battery backup holds a charge. Schedule a professional inspection each spring before storm season.
