Andrew -

I'd reccomend you convert it back to a sump pit. The drain piping and
electrical should still be in place; so it would be easy to do.

Having a sump pit dug, and pump installed, is expensive.

You have all the bits needed to have something thats really necessary for
your home - as you have mentioned water does gather there.


Best of luck mate -

Prior to my owning it, my home originally had a septic system with
sump pit, and now has a city sewer system, is it a good idea to fill
in the old pit, rather than have an eyesore in the basement with
potential for mold, etc?

I have wet-vac'd it out in the past but not surprisingly the water
eventually seeps back in. I was thinking of filling most of it with
stone, and then pouring concrete over the top. I'm concerned that
some moisture could wick up.

Any thoughts or advice?


Thanks,

Andrew
