I moved to this new house two years back. Never had experience with sump pump. After a month I moved in I realize there is water always in the pit. I checked with neighbours and found they don't have such issue. I raised the concerned to builder and they have sent the plumber. It was found the pump burnt out and got replaced. After new pumo got installed, it was running every 15 - 20 mins anf eventually after few weeks this was also burnt out. Contact the builder again and another pump get replaced. I raised my concerned to builder the new pumo make noise and it is running very frequently. They decided to put a bigger pit and pump (the sewer one) but no one has mentioned why so much water coming. With the bigger pump it now runs every 25-30 mins and still the continious water flow is there. No response from builder.
Contact city as well as TARION and both mentioned this most likely underground water and come houses face this issue. However, city suggested to check for water main water valve leakage. Getting TARION involved I was able to make the builder to check for main water valve leakage. They closed my house water from outside but water in pit kept coming. Eventually every one said it is uncontrollable factor and I need to live with this.
My neighbours don't have such issue, it is town house (middle one) with 19ft width. Any suggestion what could be the cause for water and somehow I can get invlove TARION and city to see the issue. I still have six month warranty left on pump and water continious flow I mentioned on two years form.
One more thing, it seems the water flow was always there then why the builder didn't took any action at the time of construction? Isn't there any code which says that?
Appreciate any help
