Can I install a sump pump myself or should I hire a plumber?

You can install a sump pump yourself, but hiring a licensed plumber helps ensure correct sizing and setup. Summers in Marion installs submersible, pedestal, and backup pumps, and helps you pick the right horsepower so it doesn’t short-cycle or fall behind. A pro also places the basin at the lowest point and routes discharge so water does not return to your home. If your pump is over 10 years old or makes odd noises, consider replacement.
