Is $3,000 to trench and install sump pump discharge pipe to woods a fair price?

Project Details

The homeowner's sump pump discharge currently exits the house and drops onto a splash block only 18 inches from the foundation. Due to a rising water table and heavy rainfall, they are seeking to move the discharge further away to a wooded area. The property is flat and located in a northern climate where freezing is a concern.

Quote Details

Summary of work: - Trench from the house discharge point to the woods - Install discharge piping to move water away from the foundation - Connect to existing 90-degree discharge outlet located 4-5 feet up the exterior wall
