You mean the sump pump pits?
Just wait for some rain. They will fill up.

Ayuh,...... It appears that there's no path for the water behind the knee-walls, to the drains, so it comes out at the top,.....That water is streaming from the top of the knee walls, which are the footer under the old foundation.
My thought is that the only way the French drain was done correctly is if the only source of water into the basement is over the top of these knee walls.
Don't be too quick to dismiss that, hopefully they did it right and you just didn't include pictures of the drainage and waterproofing.That is not the fault of the waterproofing company.
Not coincidentally, the waterproofing company is offering to saw cut the perimeter and install waffle-plastic drainage to allow just that. All at an additional charge.Ayuh,...... It appears that there's no path for the water behind the knee-walls, to the drains, so it comes out at the top,.....
It just ain't gettin' to the french drain,.....
Effectively not. They had gravel over it before I was able to view.Did you see the french drain go in.
.
On the pipe sticking into the pit, can you see perforations?Effectively not. They had gravel over it before I was able to view.
That is fairly normal. That shouldn't cause a problem.Quick question per my Math notes above: The French drain clearly has zero fall in a very large basement. Should this be a "redo the drain" situation, or is this a normal oversight of sorts?
