I have two pits in my basement as the water table is high on my lot. I burned one pump up this week. Since it was burnt up I thought I wait a little before I replace it to see what happens with the level of water and if the basement floods. I kept an eye all week and the water level stayed the same. I believe my pumps are sitting below the grade and are just pumping the ground water and will never get ahead. I replaced the pump to where the water level is. Any thoughts on the water level if it's too high?
