What it costs
The same price as our sump pump replacement page: one flat number for a new pump in a pit that’s still sound, with what costs extra named right beside it.
Sump pump replacement, installed in your existing pit
$697
Sump pump and battery backup, installed together
$3,200
or $53/mo at 0% APR for 60 months
A new or deeper pit, discharge line work outside, or a dedicated circuit
Priced in writing before we start
Monthly figures: 60mo @ 0% APR on each starting price, the whole price financed, on approved credit. Longer plans lower the payment and cost more in total. The lender sets the final terms. How financing works
$697 covers a new cast iron pump, a quiet check valve, new PVC up to your existing discharge line, a battery water alarm by the pit, the old pump hauled away and a bucket test before we leave.
A battery backup keeps pumping through a power outage, and the outage usually comes with the storm. With a new pump, the pair is $3,200 installed. The sump pump estimator helps you decide whether you need one.
What’s different in Aldie
There’s no public tally of Aldie basements to quote you. The Census does count the rest: about six in ten homes in 20105 are single-family houses, about three in ten are townhouses, and 93 in 100 were built since 2000. A house that young with a level below grade usually has drain pipe around its footings, carrying groundwater to a pit with a pump in it. A round lid in the lowest floor, a pipe climbing toward an outside wall: that’s yours.
The pump’s age depends on the street. Stone Ridge’s median owner home was built in 2009, so a pump that came with the house would be about seventeen, roughly twice what pump makers expect, and many have been swapped once already. Across 20105 the median is 2013, which leaves plenty of originals at twelve or thirteen.
More than half of Stone Ridge’s homes are townhouses, where the discharge leaves through the back wall into a small yard with neighbors on both sides. The association’s design standards never mention sump pumps. The nearest rule covers downspouts: an extension, buried pipe included, can’t harm an adjacent property, and above ground it can’t reach past four feet from the house. If the old discharge empties toward the next patio, move it while the pump is out, after a word with the association.
Indoors, sump water doesn’t belong in the sewer. Loudoun Water’s rules define the building sewer as a pipe for household sanitary waste, and where the utility serves a house through one of its grinder pump systems, they bar sump pump, roof and foundation drain water from the grinder chamber outright. On the septic lots past the village, a drainfield is sized for the household’s wastewater, not groundwater. We don’t touch wells or septic, but a farmhouse sump pump is the same $697 replacement as one in Stone Ridge.

When it’s time
If the lower level was finished after the house was built, the pit may sit in a closet or behind a panel nobody opens. Out of sight, a pump cycling all night goes unnoticed until the carpet is wet. Make sure you can open the panel and hear the pump before the spring rains.
Zoeller, who make a lot of the pumps around here, puts a sump pump’s life at seven to ten years. Past seven, replace it on your schedule instead of the storm’s.
Water is running back into the pit through a check valve that no longer closes, so the pump moves the same water again and again until it wears out.
After a heavy rain
Six checks you can make yourself once the rain lets up, none of them with your hands in the pit. Then call us and we’ll check it all.
Watch the pit during the rain or right after. The pump should start as the water rises, empty the pit and shut off. A full pit, or a pump that hums and moves nothing, isn’t keeping up.
Walk the basement: the corners, the walls, the floor by the pit, under the water heater and the furnace. Photograph any wet spot before you mop, so we can see where it came in.
Outside, find where the pump’s pipe ends. It should be open, not crushed, buried or full of leaves, and aimed away from the house so the water doesn’t run back to the foundation.
Listen when the pump shuts off. Water rushing back into the pit means the check valve isn’t closing, and the pump has to move that water again.
The pump stops when the power does, often at the height of the storm. If the basement took water during an outage, that’s the job a battery backup does.
If water is standing near the pit, an outlet or anything plugged in, don’t wade in to check. Call us, and only switch the power off at the panel from somewhere dry.
Not sure what you saw? Call us after a storm and we’ll check it all: the pump, the float, the check valve, the discharge line and where the water came in. If the pump can’t keep up, a new one is $697 installed in your existing pit; a new or deeper pit, a battery backup, discharge line work outside and a dedicated circuit are extra, priced in writing before we start.
Choosing who replaces it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
Ask whether the price leaves the discharge where it is or moves it. In Stone Ridge a new outside line has to keep its water off the neighbor’s lot, so whoever replaces the pump should raise that before anyone digs, with outside work priced in writing.
Ask what the number covers: the pump, the check valve, the pipe, hauling the old one off, a test before they leave. Then ask what costs extra, and get it in writing.
Cast iron, ideally. Plastic pumps cost less and are usually the ones that quit early. Ask before the old one comes out.
A discharge line that’s cracked, buried or frozen shut every January leaves the new pump pushing against a closed pipe. Whoever replaces it should check the outside end too.

Questions
Look on the lowest floor for a round lid, usually plastic, set into the slab in a utility room or under the stairs, often with a pipe rising out of it. That’s the pit. In a finished level, check behind the access panels. No pit, no pump.
No. A well pump brings water into the house; a sump pump sends groundwater out of the basement. We don’t work on wells, but the sump pump is ours: $697 installed in the existing pit.
It gets the kind that closes roads. NOAA’s storm records note a water rescue on Tail Race Road by the Little River on April 30, 2014, a truck stuck in high water, and Braddock Road shut in several spots on December 18, 2023, when a coastal storm brought 1.5 to 4 inches across the region. FEMA maps the river’s edge there as a 100-year flood zone, but a house well away from it still fills its pit from the soaked ground around the footings. On a night like that, watch the pump empty the pit and shut off. If it fell behind or the floor got wet, call us once the rain stops and we’ll check the pump, the check valve and where the line lets out. A pump that can’t keep up is $697 to replace, installed.

Yes. Pour five gallons of water into the pit. The float should rise, the pump should start within a few seconds, and it should shut off clean once the water’s down. If you hear water rushing back into the pit after it stops, that’s the check valve.
