# How much does it cost to bury a sump pump discharge line? (Kansas City)

> Premier Gutters KC - NDS-certified drainage contractor. (816) 469-9563. Published pricing.

**Short answer:** $300-$700 per line installed: 811 locates, trench, solid-wall pipe at continuous downhill slope, 5-30 ft to a pop-up emitter or daylight outlet, trench backfilled and tamped. Longer runs / under-walk routes quoted on site.

**Winter:** the continuous slope empties the line between pump cycles - self-draining design, not burial depth, is what prevents freeze-ups; a freeze-relief fitting at the wall protects the pump either way.
**Trench sharing:** sump line can share a trench with buried downspouts (one dig) but never the same pipe.
**Dry wells:** $800-$2,200, but KC clay drains slowly - emitter or daylight outlet is usually the better first choice.
