I had a contractor come out to give me an estimate on installing a sump pump, but he did not individualize the cost. I went Online to determine the cost of an Zoeller 1/3 hp SuperSump, but I can not find this information. It seems as if Zoeller only sells this to Wholesalers and thus the price is some type of secret. Also what is the typical cost per linear foot to excavate my basement floor to put in the drain tile.

Hi we sell the same pump in our store and they go for $135.00 not counting installation.

There is no typical charge as every job has different problems associated with it.
It shouldn’t cost much to excavate your basement floor if you have a concrete saw, jack hammer, someone to carry the old concrete out, a truck to haul it away, a place to dispose of it, a shovel to dig down below the concrete, someone to carry the dirt out, someone to carry the ton or more of crushed stone down to bed the drain tile in, the drain tile, a way to mix concrete, someone to carry the concrete down to the basement and pour it into the hole, someone to work and smooth the concrete. Now figure out just what you would charge to do this for someone else. Don’t forget to include the cost of your insurance, office expenses and help, and a couple hundred other costs that go into running a business when you figure this. How about I pay you $4.00 a lineal foot to do mine?
If you think they are too high, do it yourself. This isn’t heart surgery.
