Sump pump replacement, when it is needed, adds roughly $1,200 to $2,500 on top of that. Most homeowners insurance policies cover water damage from a sudden sump pump failure, burst pipe, or storm surge, and moisture readings and photo documentation are typically prepared for direct submission to the adjuster.
