We just bought a house this past December. Unfortunately, our house is one of the lowest (if not *the* lowest) in the neighborhood. Our sump has been constantly since the big melt a couple weeks ago. A couple days ago is the first time the pump was off for more than 4-5 minutes - I think we're up to 6 minute off cycles now.

When the weather warms, I really need to do some work figuring out ways to get more water away from the house. Looks like they made a lot of poor decisions with regards to how they routed the gutters/downspouts.

Also, need to install a second pump, along with a backup system. Probably going to require a larger pit as well. Our basement is completely finished so I definitely want some redundancy.
