my neighbor has 3 pumps he complained about. Me one, but lots of water coming through my dry wells via my foundation drains. Turns out were used a pool clorine tester and there it was town water. The laterals mains were leaking in the street and hitting an underground spring...this went on for 5 yrs. I just went down to drain the Di-humidifier and manually eject the sump which is low considering all the rain we have had. .

Just send us the water... please.

Start that pipeline any time...

and I'm not getting to take many bike rides. We have had more rain here than we have had in a long while - I guess we need it though, this part of the state has been under mild drought conditions.

The water is well over a foot higher than last year. The combination of precipitation and the Lake freezing over this winter has dramatically raised water levels. Many lakes in Minnesota are very high right now.

The forecast calls for 3+ inches of rain by next Saturday for large areas of the state. I'm glad I live in an area with very sandy soil at present.

I.e no rest? That would be a stuck float/switch. If it does rest how long between cycles?

to few times an hour but after yesterday back to every 5 min.

And even in between, now I hear dripping, like a toilet with a bad washer...

of emptying the sump? In particular when it runs does it run long enough to drain the sump?

Two problems, I think, is that we are at the lower 1/3 of a major slope. So water comes down. Several year ago we put a drain tiles trench at the distance part of the yard, so when the snow melts on a major hill from our neighbor, it does not get close to the house.

We also heard that before the house was built this lot was a swamp. Great!

Another problem may be the clay soil. Several weeks ago, after a dry period. we got some work done where workers were digging holes to put posts. These holes were full of water.

Once it really dries, August or September, Will try to get someone to take a look. This is a finished basement and the pump is hidden by a cabinet and a desk so I dread getting into it. But would rather do this than wait for it to break.

You've got me buffaloed (had to look this one up) as it stands. Sorry I couldn't be of any help. One last point, I see your screen-name is "question everything". Everything? My, that sounds excessive! (See what I did there?)
