Free to homeowners in Billings — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Billings, 32% of housing predates 1970. A sump pump that cycles every few seconds is usually a float or a check valve rather than a failing motor, and where the discharge may go is set by the municipality.

What this site is
Pit and Pump is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and a discharge connection is usually a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Billings in numbers

Running constantly is a different fault
A pump that cycles every few seconds is usually a float or a check valve, not a failing motor. A pump that never stops is either undersized or sitting in groundwater that has found a new route.
The one-minute test
Pour a bucket of water into the pit and watch. The pump should start, clear the pit and stop cleanly. FEMA publishes a nine-step annual service built around exactly that.
