I would think that the sump pit has perforated drainage pipe attached to it
that goes around the inside perimeter of the basement floor. Or at least it
should. If he drills another hole it better be near the top of the pit.

Check and fix outside drainage of gutters , grading, downspouts etc
How is it going to freeze, it wont. But you should drill a hole in
the sump pit to relieve pressure on the ground and pump out water.
