Where To Start


 
Home Business
Often when homeowners begin to calculate the sump pump installation cost for a home system, they start with the pump. This is the right idea. By carefully planning the sump system and determining the specifications and requirements for the pump, everything necessary will follow. This is a good exercise even if you plan to use a contractor. Since you will need to maintain the sump system after the contractor finishes, following the design of the system is a good way to learn how it works and how to take care of it. This is a good first step toward determining the total sump pump installation cost. If a homeowner is replacing an existing pump, then the sump pump installation cost is straight-forward and relatively low. Start by finding the specifications from the existing pump: horsepower, flow rate, and head pressure, and purchasing a similar pump from your local home supply store. Since sump pumps are standardized in the U.S., replacing a pump is generally no more difficult than removing the old pump and plugging in the new using the existing fittings. A replacement pump will run about $100 to $300 depending on horsepower, and the materials made to construct it. If a homeowner is enhancing an existing pump system by adding a backup pump, the installation can also be relatively easy, as long as he plans to use the same output route for the water. Adding a backup pump will make the total sump pump installation cost in the neighborhood of $150 to $450. Finally, if a homeowner is performing a first-time installation, particularly if significant modification work is required for the basement, then he needs to plan for a higher sump pump installation cost. If a professional installation is needed, the a full installation with basin, pump, and drains for a typical home will run between $2000 and $6000. If extensive drainage is present and multiple sump pumps required, this figure can rise to $15,000. An alternative to the higher professional sump pump installation cost, and a project that a homeowner with moderate plumbing and construction skills can complete on his own, is to install a set of baseboard-style drains. These run along the inside of the basement walls. They have the advantage of avoiding extensive changes to the basement, which can include providing a drain by jack-hammering through the concrete basement floor. A do-it-yourself kit for the baseboard drains is purchased by the foot of the basement perimeter. If for example, your basement is 20 feet by 30 feet, then the perimeter is double the sum of the dimensions, or 100 feet. The kits, which run $10 to $13 dollars per foot when then run $1000 to $1300. Along with the new pump and the extras required -- including gravel and cement, costing roughly $250, the total sump pump installation cost for this scenario would run approximately $1800. By considering the various options and deciding when it is appropriate to use a contractor or to do it on your own, you can maximize the benefit of the sump pump installation cost.
