how much to sump pumps cost
Buying a sump pump can cost anywhere from $100 to $1000. The cost discrepancy lies with the type of sump pump you get and the horsepower you need. They range from Â¼ horsepower to 1 horsepower motors. Most average homes can make do with Â½ horsepower. A typical plastic Â½ horsepower model will cost $100 to $200. The sturdier stainless steel or brass units cost more, but will last much longer and are designed for constant use. A heavy duty steel sump pump with Â½ horsepower will run from $300 to $500. Installation costs for a pedestal model are very low, since a sump basin is not needed. Labor costs for this unit will rest on how you intend to discharge the water, but will typically not rise above $1000 for professional installation.
