Hello everyone,
I have a weird setup in my new house with the sump pump. In the sump pit I have 3 drainage pipes coming from the west, south, and north side of the home. The north and south pipes are closed off. One with cement (north) and the other with a large plug(south). The north drain is starting to drain water into the pit due to the cement cracking. The sump pump does work and drain the water that is coming in from the west side pipe.
Do you have any ideas on why someone would close off 2 pipes on purpose? I am getting moisture problems on the Northwest corner of the foundation in my crawl and I wonder if it is due to this being closed off. I can post pictures if that would help understand my problem.
Thanks for helping.
Robb
