I had a French Drain installed last year ( B Dry company )
Approximately 90ft of 4" Diameter Channels around the Basement Perimeter into a 18" x 22" Basin
Installer put in a Automatic Flotec with about 3" of Float Movement
At it's worst the Pump was turning on literally every 10-15 seconds
(I now have a Zoeller 98 and at the worst it triggers every 20 seconds or so)
It takes a Month of constant rain (which is usually December and June)before the system runs likes this, and it will run like that for several weeks before slowing down
The installer is an idiot, he's trying his hardest to worm his way out of fixing the system
I actually don't think he knows what he's doing ( I failed to do my homework )
My solution after much research would be to replace the 18x22 basin with a 30x36 basin ( that would probably be the largest I could fit in the area ) and install a Duplex Setup with an alternating switch
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated - Thank You
