Hello

When we bought our house 4 years ago, we had the basement excavated. Because there was a lot of water we had 3 sump pumps installed. These pumps have been working fine, and if we do get water it is usually because one of the pumps is jammed or not working.

For the past couple of months we have started getting some water all the time, even though all 3 pumps have been functioning properly. More importantly, the level of water in the 3 sump holes is consistently well below the level of the floor.

Anyone have any ideas where this excess water might be coming from and how it is getting past the sump pump gauntlet?

Thanks in advance!
