Many customers plan from the start to leave their work to professionals and want to know how to budget the sump pump installation cost for a contractor or plumber. There are several good reasons for doing this. One is that they are not comfortable choosing the specifications for the pump, and want someone who will take responsibility for the choice for their unique home. Another is that they do not feel their plumbing skills are up to snuff in order to perform the routing of the pump outlet. A third reason may be that significant work may be required on the actual basement to provide drainage or routing, and is best left to someone who really knows what he is doing. Finally, any electrical work like routing a new socket for the pump should be left to a licensed electrician. For these reasons, homeowners want to know how to plan for a professional sump pump installation cost. There is a likely a significant difference in the sump pump installation cost between a first-time installation, and the replacement of an existing unit. When an old unit is replaced with a similar make and model, the labor runs around $50 to $150. Depending on the horsepower and the materials of the new unit, the new pump itself will cost between $100 to $300. So the total sump pump installation cost for a pump replacement will total about $150 to $450. The sump pump installation cost for a professionally-installed system including the sump basin, pump, and drains in a typical home will run roughly $2000 to $6000, but could run as high as $10,000 to $15,000 if there is extensive drainage, or if more than one pump is required. As an alternate to routing to an external drainage system or drilling through the basement floor, an economic solution is to add base-board style drains that are installed along the inside of the basement walls. This runs approximately $26 per foot. If your basement is for example 20 feet by 30 feet, then the perimeter is 100 feet, and the total sump pump installation cost for a professional is about $2600. Take time to choose the right contractor to best utilize the sump pump installation cost. The best way is to find a friend or someone you can trust who has successfully installed a sump system with a contractor. The second best alternative is to get a recommendation from a store that supplies sump pump components. Your local home supply store is a great place for this. After that, consulting a published business directory or finding the store online can be a good next step. Your best bet is to find an online directory that allows customers to leave feedback, and find a contractor that has lots of positive hits. In addition, for the amount of money involved, you should feel comfortable asking a potential contractor for references, then consider going and talking to these references in person. This information should give you a good starting point to estimate the total sump pump installation cost for a professional.
