Frequently Asked Questions
New pit excavation and pump installation typically runs $1,500–$3,500. Adding a battery backup system is $500–$1,200. Replacing an existing pump without pit work is $400–$900.
If you have hydrostatic pressure or your home is in a lower-lying area of Bergen County, a sump pump is preventive insurance. Many basements that flood once benefit from a system installed before the next event.
Most residential applications use a 1/3 HP submersible pump (2,000–3,000 GPH capacity). Homes with significant water intrusion may need 1/2 HP or combination systems. We size based on your conditions.
A battery backup pump activates automatically when the primary pump loses power — exactly the scenario most needed during heavy rain. We recommend backup systems for all new installations.
