How much does sump pump installation cost in Lowell?

Sump pump installation in Lowell, MA typically costs $379–$758 for a new pit and pump (market estimate). Replacing a pump in an existing pit costs less, and a battery backup adds to it. The biggest cost factor is whether a new pit must be cut into the floor and how far the discharge line has to run.
