Sump pump installation and replacement on the Shore

Signs your sump pump needs replacing

A pump that is limping is a pump that will stop during the storm. If yours is faulty rather than finished, start with sump pump repair and maintenance instead.

• The pump is 7 to 10 years old
• It runs constantly and never gets a rest
• Water in the crawlspace after ordinary rain
• It has already been repaired once
• No basin at all, just water standing under the house
• A pump plainly undersized for the pit it sits in

What sump pump installation involves

Four jobs, depending on what is already down there.

Replacement pump in an existing basin

$500 to $1,400. A cast iron body runs cooler and lasts longer than plastic, and the float gets matched to the basin size, because switch failure is the most common reason a pump is dead when you need it.

New basin, pump, and discharge from scratch

$1,600 to $3,500 where there is no pit yet. Most of what we fit on the Shore is crawlspace rather than basement, which is the same job with less headroom.

Battery and water powered backups

A battery backup is $800 to $1,800 and runs six to twelve hours, which covers most Shore outages. Where you have municipal water pressure, a water powered backup is $900 to $2,000 and never needs charging.

Discharge routing and high water alarms

Running a discharge two feet from the foundation just recirculates the same water. Extending it properly is $250 to $900, and a high water alarm at $120 to $300 tells you the pump has failed before the floor does.
