What affects the cost of installation?

Type of pump

There are different types of pumps with unique peculiarities and advantages. The choice is usually between plastic and metal. With a plastic pump, you can be sure of its ability to withstand corrosion. It will however not function under high pressure reducing its efficiency. Metal pumps are better suited to high pressure but their parts are more susceptible to corrosion. Replacing metal parts can also prove to be very costly as the cost of replacements can rise to twice the amount it would cost for plastic parts. It’s a matter of getting the pump that suits your needs based on your building.

Floor type

Depending on what type of floor you have in the basement, the cost of pump installation may vary. Costs are sure to rise where the floor is made of cement. This is because they are thicker and require a lot of effort and labor to breakthrough them. Gravel or dirt floors will cost less as they require less labor and allow for speedy pump installation.
