How to Replace or Install a Sump Pump |
Installing a new sump system is a job for a professional basement waterproofing contractor or plumber. It involves trenching, breaking through the basement floor, and laying pipe. Needless to say, this work isn't cheap--expect to pay $2,000 or more. Replacing a sump pump, on the other hand, can be a fairly manageable job for those who are handy at such things. You just pull the electrical plug and disconnect the pump from the piping. (Always disconnect the power before handling a sump pump never handle any live electrical components when standing in water.) If you have a submersible pump, it is usually a good idea to remove it annually for cleaning anyway.
