Flood due to Pump not Running

20251212: Took some readings and doesnt look like there were any changes.

20251115: took some moisture readings on the walls outside. There is a consistent reading of around 18 when below 2 feet from ground and immediately tapers off to 10 when above 2 feet. Have not check legal suite. will do that tomorrow

Today only stairway contractors were working on site. Will need to review front door cams for any other visitors who may have messed around with circuit breaker or pump.

The lowest point where the water accumulated appears to be along the walls of the west wing basement and under the stairs (might not be the case once we install a tile that’s missing from there)

According to them, the well was at or above the first step in the the ladder down in the well. I’m assuming the hardware currently in the well wont’ be damaged from being submerged. The pump appears to have caught up about an hour later. I was still doing some security camera changes and heard the pump alarm go on and off with approx 10 min breaks. Will need to have the plumber review the setup again. One possible guess is the secondary well that moves the water to the city storm drain is too shallow and water is being pushed back to the well where it triggers the alarm either due to the speed at which the water flows back or it hitting the floater making it go on/off. Another possibility is due to the floaters dangling from the unit and not being tied to a pole as shown on the pump instruction manual. This may be creating stress on the socket causing the switch to go on and off.

@todo get some moisture readings. Didn’t think of that earlier. Any readings now don’t have a baseline of reference.
