Best to spend the money to have a professional install the sump pump for you. The average cost for the labor is between $100 – $200 per hour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Had 2 companies quote on the job, RCC and a Hamilton competitor, regarding persistent small amounts of water coming into our family room from the corner. The competitor arrived and looked at the job. Little information given to me regarding the problem but he had a fix. $4100.

RCC came to estimate the job and the representative Richard explained what was happening, how they would fix the problem and how they would keep the family room clean while the work was performed. $960.50. The crew arrived, laid down cover mats and then proceeded with the repair. The same repair as the other company quoted. The job was clean, the attention to detail was meticulous, and after they had left the house, you would not know they had been in our family room removing concrete, dirt and stone. WOW. Nice to deal with an honest and reputable company. I would recommend to anyone to use RCC Waterproofing for their job.”  – Don Wallace, Hamilton ON  Read More Customer Reviews
