it depends on what you mean build you can go to Home Depot and get a sump pump for around $100 for mid level if you mean cutting the hole in the basement floor (concrete) it can become very expensive if you hire someone to do the work but if you do the work yourself you should be able to do it for between $100-$200 and only should take a couple hours (make sure to check codes in your town/city) good luck

You can buy pumps at MANY sites from $50 up to about $100 and up. However, the installation is something else entirely. If you already have a pump in place, putting in a new one would normally be an easy job . However if you want to put a pump into a drain that does not have one, there would likely be a lot of work to do-- digging out a hole in which to put the pump-- likely breaking up some concrete to make the hole, lining the hole with new concrete,connecting the pump to the drain and putting in the wiring to the pump.

Labor costs vary from place to place and it might even be hard to find someone to do this kind of work. I think $500 would be a good deal in a case like this.

ANS 2

It depends entirely on the usage, - whether you are simply keeping a basement dry, or if you have an occupied basement with toilet and bath facilities. - Simple sump pumps for keeping a basement dry should sit in a depression at the lowest point in the basement. In their very basic form, these can pump up through cheap plastic pipe to a main drain. This system can cost as little as 300-350 installed.

-For an occupied basement there are many self contained tank/pump units that are much more robust and complex, using a small septic pump in a garbage bin sized tank to pump up on demand from a float switch. These can cost between 800-2000 to buy and install properly.

My Ans.3

A sump pump with a built-in backup pump can be $300-$500,and heavy-duty solid-brass sump pumps start around $250-$350, but can go as high as $600-$1,200 for extremely rugged models with a half to a full horse power. Average total costs for a do-it-yourself installation of basin, pump, gravel and cement can run $150-$350.
