Look in the sump pump pit and watch while the water is pumped out. When the pump shuts off, if the water starts filling the pit again, you have a bad check valve. If water comes in the pipe in the side of the pit, then you have a water infiltration problem and it could be a high water table, but is more likely a water leak. : I rent a 3 level townhouse; and the landlord told me there is a "sump pump" by the furnace. The "sump pump" comes "on" continuously day and night. Is this normal? The noise it makes is driving me crazy. Thanks.
