This is where the water from my weeping tiles go:

Wondering if having water sit there can cause smells, I do have some "dampy" smells in my basement and I'm wondering if remedying this sump so the water goes straight into the drain would help.
I'm thinking of carefully putting cement (the water dries out if we get a few days without rain) to level it off, or maybe just add some kind of conduit to the other pipe to feed it directly. Think one of these solutions would help take care of "Dampy" smells in the basement?
I also have mold which I've been taking care of and the smell has really gone down, but the room where this sump is does still have a smell, it's a typical damp basement smell.
