Replacing a Pump in an Old, Small Pit
Some older Ravenswood basements have small, shallow or unlined pits that were dug decades ago. A modern pump may not fit, or it may cycle on and off too often because the pit holds so little water. We can fit a compact pump, adjust the float or, if needed, install a new liner and a deeper pit. A pump that runs in short bursts all day wears out much faster.
What Affects the Price of Sump Pump Work
The pump size and type, a backup and an alarm are the main pieces. A new liner or deeper pit adds more. We test and quote a flat price.
