It's just a hole in the floor but closer to the dirt part so fills

the water going out wouldn't come back against the house but drain down
an incline. It works beautifully but for the water overflowing from the
old hole. Should I fill it or just try to cut a groove thru the cement
to drain it?


Clearly, the old hole is properly constructed to catch the water that
needs to be expelled. Put the old pump back in it and pipe it to where
you want it to go. Put the battery pump in the new hole, and it will
catch the water flowing from the old hole when the power is out after it
flows across your floor and messes it all up.
