Is $5,000 to install a sump pump to address basement water seepage a fair price?

Project Details

I want to renovate my basement, and it all starts with a small water issue I have. In the corner of my house and basement, I have water that seems to be sipping from underneath the concrete. It's not a lot, only individual unrelated areas along one wall. I'm not sure that a sump pump is the way to go for so "few" water spots, but on the other hand, I don't have any input on what else besides a sump pump could work.

Install a sub pump and connect to exterior downspout

I have an encapsulated crawlspace with a concrete floor that experiences water puddling in one corner after extensive heavy rainfall. A crawlspace encapsulation company representative provided an estimate for a solution, stating that a permanent fix for groundwater entering from the main water lines entrance might not be possible from their end, and a plumber's exterior fix isn't guaranteed. Their proposed solution includes: - Install a new sub pump in the affected corner of the crawlspace - Connect the new pump to the exterior downspout in the same corner to divert water away
