Best Sump Pump Installation Cost Estimates In The Twin Cities Metro

Most sump pumps last 8 to 12 years, but that depends on how often they run and how well they’re maintained. Minnesota homeowners rely on their sump pumps more than most—especially during heavy spring rains and winter thaws—so wear and tear can happen faster.

If your sump pump is over 10 years old or you’ve noticed issues like constant running, odd noises, or frequent cycling, it may be time for a replacement. Bonfe’s expert plumbers can inspect your sump pump and help you decide whether a repair or a new installation is the best option.

The cost of a sump pump replacement in the Twin Cities Metro depends on:

• The type of sump pump (submersible vs. pedestal)
• The size and power of the pump
• Whether you need additional features, like a battery backup

A battery backup sump pump is a smart investment for Twin Cities homeowners since power outages during storms can lead to flooded basements. Bonfe offers upfront pricing with no surprises—plus expert installation backed by a Lifetime Warranty on recommended repairs.

Choosing the right sump pump size depends on:

• Basement size & water table level
• Amount of groundwater in your area
• Pump horsepower (⅓ HP to ½ HP is standard for most homes)

If your pump is too small, it won’t keep up during heavy rain. If it’s too large, it may cycle too often, leading to early failure. Bonfe’s plumbing experts can assess your home and recommend the best sump pump size to keep your basement dry year-round.

While a battery backup isn’t required, it’s a smart investment—especially in the Twin Cities, where heavy rains and storms often lead to power outages. Your sump pump runs on electricity, so if the power goes out during a storm, your pump won’t be able to do its job. A battery backup keeps your sump pump running when you need it most, helping prevent basement flooding and costly water damage. Many homeowners choose to install a backup system for extra protection and peace of mind. If you’re considering one, Bonfe can help you find the right solution for your home.
