What factors affect the cost of a sump pump repair or replacement?
- Replacing or repairing: It's almost always more expensive to replace a sump pump than it is to repair one. Some exceptions would be if the sump pump is very old, has seen extensive use, or if the motor needs to be replaced. A Golden Rule plumber will make every attempt to resolve your issue within your budget, and will always give you multiple repair options to choose from.
- Type of sump pump: Some types of sump pumps are more expensive to repair or install. Submersible sump pumps have stronger motors, take up less space, and don't clog easily, but they do cost more to repair or install than pedestal pumps on average. Pedestal pumps are easier to access (hence the more affordable repairs) and tend to last longer.
- Installing a battery backup: If a storm knocks out power to your home, or if your primary sump pump stops working for any other reason, a battery backup will kick in and keep your basement from flooding. We recommend backups because they're much more affordable than what you'd pay in water damage and mold remediation services should the worst happen.
They are always courteous and provide multiple options. They do great work.

Customer Review
Professionalism and friendliness was greatly appreciated...
Everything went smoothly with my plumbing service call from setting the appointment to the technician, Adler, showing up on time and performing the work well and in a timely fashion. Was very informative and let me know about other services they offer without being pushy. Adler's professionalism and friendliness was greatly appreciated.
