Yes, a sump pump should typically have some water in it at all times. This water acts as a seal to prevent debris and gases from entering the sump pit while also ensuring the pump is primed and ready to operate when needed. However, excessive water accumulation can indicate a problem, such as a malfunctioning pump or a high groundwater level. Regular monitoring is essential to maintain proper function.

What is the problem if your pump will not pump water from your well?
There are a number of problems that might cause a well not to produce water. There could be some kind of electrical problem and the pump might not be powered up. Or the motor for the pump may have failed. The pump may have lost its prime and cannot pump water (depending on the type of pump), and the water table might have become lower and the pump is now above it and dry. Think about how the pump worked before, and how it works now, and then compare the two "observations" to see if there are any differences. Does the pump sound like it comes on? Open a tap and, while listening at the tap, have someone turn on the pump. Troubleshoot this and return with a more specific question if you can.

Can a sump pump be piped into the DWV pipes in a crawl space?
Yes, a sump pump can be piped into the Drainage, Waste, and Vent (DWV) system in a crawl space, but it must be done correctly to ensure proper drainage and avoid potential plumbing issues. The sump pump discharge should typically connect to a gravity drain or a sewer line, following local plumbing codes. It's important to check local regulations and guidelines, as some areas may have restrictions on discharging sump pump water into the DWV system. Proper installation helps prevent backflow and ensures efficient operation.

Should there be a small hold leaking water below the water pump pulley on a 1992 Nissan Serena?
That is the weep hole for the water pump. It means the seals are bad in the pump, and it has to be replaced. Most water pumps do have a weep hole on the pump itself. If it leaks from there it usually means that the water pump seal is going bad and soon you will need to replace the waterpump. At least that has been my experience. :-( Some water pumps do have holes either on top or bottom of it. If coolant starts coming out of the hole then it's time to replace the pump.
