Yes, if you have frequent water you can listen to the pump run and watch for the discharge outside. If your sump pit is dry you can pour a few buckets of water into it to watch for proper operation.
A basic pump replacement starts around $750. Adding new piping or an entire new sump it can be from $1,000 to $5,000.
All new construction homes are required by law to have one now. However, homes more than 10 years old did not require them.

Most pumps have a three-year warranty. A general rule of thumb is 10 years for any piece of equipment.
