Basement Drain


We have a concrete floor in our basement. In one corner at the front of the house there is a hole about a foot diameter, and I always assumed it was a drain to let water seep into the ground below if we flooded. It’s full of water now, the area around it is damp. Never seen this happen before – could ground water seep up through it? Has there been that much rain? There’s no sign of water getting in to the basement anywhere else.
I guess I have to put my hand in and find out what’s blocking it.
