What is the Cost of New Sump Pump?

The average cost of a sump pump is around $200. However, there are certainly smaller models that retail for less, and more sophisticated models with significantly higher price tags. Having an appropriately sized sump pump is crucial to ensure it will work when you need it. Under the worst circumstances, using an undersized sump pump can lead to basement flooding. Under the best circumstances, its usable life will be shortened significantly. As a result, you should never compromise functionality for cost because saving $50, or even $100, isn’t worth it if it puts your home in danger of water damage.

Can you replace your own sump pump? You sure can. However, many people have a local plumber do their sump pump replacement because they have already called the plumber in to address the issues they’re having with their broken sump pump. When it’s determined to be unfixable, they typically just have the plumber finish out the job by replacing the sump pump as well. A plumber will charge you for the cost of the sump pump itself as well as the labor needed to diagnose the issue, remove the old one, and install a new one. There may also be a trip charge associated with sump pump replacement services.
