The repair-visit split, stated head-on first
| Frame | What it counts | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | plumbing repairs, one band | $400-$550 |
| Frame A | minor repairs, switch or float | $100-$300 |
| Frame B | float or float-arm row | $75-$125 |
| Frame B | switch replacement row | $150-$350 |
| Frame B | motor or impeller row | $400-$800 |
This cluster prices sump pump repair alone -- the single repair visit as the whole purchase, priced by failed part on the by-part guide and read against the swap and new-system tickets on the repair-vs-replacement guide. Named apart, never a row here: the sump pump installation cluster, its own field pricing a pump swap and a new system as installation tickets; basement waterproofing systems, a system purchase and never a repair visit; and French drains, a drainage run and never a pump repair.
Frame A lines, as reported: the Angi frame
| Frame A line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Plumbing repairs | $400-$550 |
| Minor repairs, switch or float | $100-$300 |
| Replacement, apart | $310-$750, $500 average |
| Complete new system, apart | $1,200-$2,500 |
Frame A counts the repair visit as one plumbing band with a minor-repair band beside it, and its replacement and new-system lines stand apart as their own tickets on the repair-vs-replacement guide.
Frame B lines, as reported: the Modernize frame
| Frame B line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Float or float-arm replacement | $75-$125 |
| Switch replacement | $150-$350 |
| Check valve replacement | $125-$200 |
| Discharge pipe repairs | $100-$225 |
| Motor or impeller service | $400-$800 |
Frame B counts one repair visit by failed part, each part on its own row, and its full replacement line stands apart at $800-$1,600 all-in on the repair-vs-replacement guide. The two frames count the same float job differently -- Frame A reads minor repairs such as a switch or float replacement at $100-$300 as one band, while Frame B reads a float or float-arm replacement at $75-$125 as its own by-part row. That difference is named as a frame difference on every page here, never averaged.
The neighbours, differentiated
The sump pump installation hub prices a pump swap and a new system as installation tickets in its own lane, apart from its installation counting named apart here. Its lines stand inside that hub's own installation counting. Neither prices a single repair visit by failed part.
