My sump is constantly filling with clear water from one of the drain tiles (interior or exterior of footing), causing my sump to run every 5 minutes or so. It did not do this for the first year or two when we bought the house. It now fills constantly, even if it hasnt rained in weeks.(eliminates grading questions) The pump and check valve have been replaced (as the old pump burned out). Is it possible that our city water mains leak? could a test for flouride in the water determine that? I would like to finish my basement, but fear a pump failure. I am planning on a backup pump install, but would really like to know where the water is coming from and if possible stop it. None of our nearby neighbors (less than 10 ft away) have problems, but there homes are older and may not have sump pits. Our house is 6 years old, and sits up higher on the gradual slope than others. We are closer to the water main, but that too was just replaced. I am at a loss.
