A constantly running sump pump is a strong indicator that your drainage system is under significant stress and may be struggling to manage a basement perimeter drain system failure.
A sump pump is designed to actively remove groundwater that would otherwise accumulate against your foundation. When your perimeter drain (also known as a French drain or footing drain) becomes clogged with sediment or collapses, it can no longer provide the necessary hydrostatic pressure relief. This causes the soil around your foundation to become saturated, forcing your sump pump to work overtime to prevent water from seeping through your basement floors and walls.
