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.
1 An average sump pump (pedestal or submersible) for a typical home runs about $100-$300 depending on the horsepower, materials (plastic is less expensive than cast iron or stainless steel), flow rate and the height the water needs to be lifted to discharge it. An average installation of a sump basin and pump (not including drains) runs about $250-$600 for parts and labor, depending on the quality of the equipment, ease of access and local rates. 2  One homeowner had a plumber install a middle-of-the-line sump pump and basin for $305.
