![]() Also not sure if I have drain tile that goes around the entire perimeter of my house. Only problem I can see with this is that I'm not sure where water would end up if it's not going into this pit. Only problem with this is that I'm spending $700 on a new Ejector pump and they are only lasting 3 years.Ģ) Replace Ejector Pit-This runs around $1100 from what I've been told. I've had basement water specialists and plumbers come out to take a look and here is a sampling of the suggestions they gave me:ġ) Do nothing-I've never had water problems, so a couple people just said that, while not ideal, just to leave it be. Not 100% sure on this though because I don't see the drain tile coming in on the one side. One plumber thought that, when they put the bathroom in, they cut the drain tile and basically made the ejector pit into a combo pit (against code). I'd say on average, it runs every 5 minutes. Even when water isn't pouring in there, I think there might be an opening at the bottom because the water level will continue to rise. The problem is that this opening is lower than my drain tile, so it seems like a lot of water is entering there and causing my ejector pump to run a lot. The other opening almost looks like a precut opening where there is a round circular cover that has moved slightly and now ground water is coming in (I can see the stones, so it's not drain tile). The problem is that my ejector pump has 2 openings, one that is water coming from the bathroom, sinks, etc. ![]() I have a sump pump that really never runs except during hard rain storms. Been living here for about 8 years and never had any water issues, but this has always been a mystery to me. Have a unique situation in my 1950's ranch. ![]()
