Husband replaced sump pump but he said the casing has cracks in it. How
can he patch it. Seems to be fiberglass or something like a trash can.

Sounds like you're talking about the sump pump pit. I would not worry
about cracks in it. It essentially just serves as a hole in the basement
floor, below floor level that water can run into. Typically there is drain
pipe around the foundation that leads into it. And where the pipe comes
into the pit, that isn't sealed around anyway. You have a rough cut opening and
the pipe just goes through it. The idea is water can run into the pit, then
get pumped out. So, some cracks in it are irrelevant.

IDK. Sounds like she is talking about a plastic liner insert that fits
into the sump pit -- it has cracked? Not a foundation crack at the
pit...
