Power outages are when basements flood. Storms take out the power at the same time the pit fills, which is why the battery backup is the line most homes add.

What moves the price

 

Four things decidewhat you pay.

Most homes land on the $650 or $1,750 line. These are the things that move it, so you know before we arrive.

  • There is no pit→A new pit means cutting and digging the floor: $2,400
  • Power outages→A battery backup keeps pumping when the power is out: $1,100 more
  • You are away a lot→A Wi-Fi alarm or smart monitor tells your phone first
  • The discharge is wrong→A discharge that dumps against the foundation sends the water straight back into the pit

Already have water on the floor? See basement flood protection for backwater valves and floor drains.

Questions we get asked

Sump pump cost FAQ

How much does it cost to replace a sump pump?

Replacing a sump pump in an existing pit is $650 plus HST, supplied and installed. With a battery backup added, it is $1,750.

How much does a new sump pit cost?

A new sump pit and pump is $2,400 plus HST. That includes cutting the concrete, chipping the floor and digging the pit. Adding a battery backup at the same time is $1,100 more.

Is a battery backup worth it?

Storms knock out the power at the same time the pit fills up. A battery backup keeps pumping through the outage, which is when most basements flood.

How do I know my sump pump is failing?

Constant running, rapid on and off cycling, strange noises, or water in the pit with the pump not starting are the common signs. Lift the float to test it: the pump should start and empty the pit.

How long does a sump pump replacement take?

A pump swap in an existing pit is usually done in one visit. A new pit takes longer because the floor has to be cut and dug.

Are there any rebates for a sump pump or backup?

In some areas. Halton Region and the County of Brant both have basement flood programs that can cover a new sump pump. See our rebates page for amounts and the rules.
