Free to homeowners in North Babylon — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In North Babylon, 76% 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.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, table B25034, five-year estimates. A margin of error is published alongside every estimate.
76% of North Babylon housing was built before 1970, when below-grade waterproofing was a different trade with different methods.
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.North Babylon 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.
Where the discharge is allowed to go
Into a storm system, onto grade, or into a dry well — and which of those is permitted is set by the municipality, not by the plumber. Connecting a sump to the sanitary sewer is prohibited almost everywhere.
