DIY Sump Pump Replacement with ZERO experience… Did it Work? | SP2 – Rundown to Regal

We attempted a DIY sump pump replacement in our basement with ZERO plumbing experience, and things got interesting… From breaking up the concrete to figuring out the install step-by-step, we learned a lot (and made a few mistakes along the way). If you’re considering tackling your own sump pump repair or replacement, this is what you need to know before starting.

This is Special 2 in our Rundown to Regal home renovation series, where we’re turning our fixer-upper into a dream space one project at a time. Whether you’re dealing with a flooded basement, exploring a sump pump installation, or just love a good DIY home improvement story, this one’s for you.
