I have a Barnes submersible pump that runs about every 15 minutes. In trying to find the cause of the constant running I notice that the hole in the sump pit connect to our basement floor drain is slowly seeping water into the pit. There is also a small hole on the opposite side of the pit the also is slowly exporting water into the pit. (I assume the small hole is from the drain tiles)
Could someone tell me what to look for as to why this large hole in the pit, connected to our floor drain keeps leaking back into the pit and setting off the pump? I have oured water into the floor drain to ensure that this is indeed the pipe coming into the pit.
Any info is helpful.
Thank You
