1. Does the pump send the water away from the house and downhill far enough that water does not pond next to the foundation?
2. If you turned the pump off for several minutes after it stopped, does the bottom half of the pit refill fast and the top half refill slowly? If so re-adjust the float switch on the pump so it shuts off when the pit is half empty and does not turn on until the pit is almost full.
3. You may need to regrade the land around the foundation so other water does not pond next to the foundation.
