I have a small sump hole in my basement 12inch wide X 20 deep. I get
really short cycles...the water comes in about 3 inches from the
bottom of the hole from drainage pipe. Is the solution a deeper sump
hole and is it expensive to have one done in a concrete basement? I'd
have to hire out for this. Would a plumber be the one to call?

Depending on how far the sump fills before the pump turns on, you might be
able to adjust the switch to allow a somewhat longer cycle.
