Five years ago we had American Dry Basement install a system under the foundation pitted to a sump pump. It's been a blessing. We been dry since. Two months ago I notice the sump pump pumping water and thought maybe it's draining and it will stop soon. We, it's been two months now. Usually in the winter we don't hear the pump because the ground is frozen. Last November I had a huge tree in the back yard cut down and the trunk grinded about half a foot into the ground. Do you think that water is coming from that angle? Although I looked at the pit and the water is coming in from the hole nearest the ground in the pit? We already have curtain drains around the house as well. Can this be spring? Please help.

To check to see if you have a hidden leak first shut down everything in the house, no flush, no drinks of water, and if you are on a meter go out and check the little pointer in the gage. It should not move or creep. If it does you have a leak. If you're on a pump then check the pressure gage after the pump builds up to pressure and shuts off. The gage should not fall and the pump come back on. If so then you have a leak. Hope this helps and thank you for rating my reply, Tom
