I just had a sewage pump replaced. Pump was 1200, labor was 2100, two hour job including pumping out the holding tank. Stung.
I'll do it next time, I really didnt know what was all involved. I understand the overhead, but 1050 an hour?
Tree guys who pull up with 500k in equipment only get 350-400 an hour depending on the crew the send around here.
Did ours 3 years ago.
Lowes pumps are $150 pieces of crap.
Did some finagling and bought a Goulds from a trade supply place
through my wife's companies hardware store name.
$700 for a commercial, constant duty rated pump.
(One and done for awhile.)
After I was done, was talking to a friend that owns a water business
and does some septic. He told me the cheapest permit he can get to
even start such a job is $3-400. Before the pump and labor.
