Why does my sump pump run continuously? Your discharge may not be not be properly tied into an underground drain line, which would normally be directing water away from the home.  Because of this, water is instead recycled back to the pump.  Back to top.

Why does a crack leak adjacent to a garage, patio, or driveway? Water seeks the path of  least resistance, although the drain tile under the floor is working properly water will infiltrate a crack before going to the drain tile.  Back to top.
