# Sump Pump Discharge Lines

TL;DR

Buried exterior sump pump discharge lines for KC metro homes: underground runs from your discharge stub to daylight or a pop-up emitter 15–25+ feet from the house, freeze-safe design, continuous self-draining slope, lawn restored. Typical single line $300–$700. Stops your pump recycling the same water in a loop.

## The problem

Most sump discharges dump water 3–6 feet from the house. That water soaks straight back down the foundation wall and returns to the sump pit — the pump moves the same water in a loop, cycling constantly and wearing out early.

## What's included

- Connection at the exterior discharge stub with a freeze-relief fitting
- Schedule 40 PVC or corrugated line buried at continuous self-draining slope (nothing sits, nothing freezes)
- Daylight outlet or pop-up emitter exit placed where water can't return
- Parallel-trench option: bury the downspouts in the same dig
- Photos before backfill and full lawn restoration
- Exterior stormwater work only — sanitary sewer connections are licensed plumber territory

## Pricing

- Typical buried single discharge line: **$300–$700**
- Add to a whole-house buried downspout project ($1,500–$3,500) and it shares the dig
- Pop-up emitter: **$150–$300**
- Cast iron sump pump replacement (interior, per published pricing): $1,500–$2,800
