During heavy torrential rainstorms, a sump pump may run continuously or cycle every 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the volume of groundwater entering your perimeter drainage system. As massive amounts of water saturate the soil around your foundation, it pours into the sump pit rapidly, causing the basin to fill and trigger the pump at frequent intervals. As long as the pump successfully expels the water and shuts off between cycles, it is functioning properly. Verification: Monitor weather conditions and ensure the pump catches up and lowers the water level successfully.
