disaster yet again

Im back! Thanks for all the advise and kind words,it does help believe me. Well last night the basement flooded yet again. I had just sat down to watch a movie with my wife,and the pump musta quit right then. After the movie I checked in the basement and viola! An inch of water...and yes I checked the pump prior to sitting down for the movie and all was well.

I jiggled the on/off switch arm and it came on after 2-3 try's. This pump is brand new,just bought it about 6 month's ago to replace the old one . Stupid Canadian tire and thier chinese junk..that's where I bought the pump.

Anybody ready to invade china and wipe out the slave labour factory where this pile of crap pump was made?Lol...thanks investor's who thought china was a safe bet...

Anyways I do just want to fill the pump trench and well with drainage rock,cap it off with concrete and just plumb it to the outside drainage tile,of which there is none so I will at least put in enough drainage tile outside to deal with this. Maybe 20 ft? Sooooo easily dealt with yet the p/o never did it and stuck with a sump pump.

This is the first house I ever bought,so inexperienced? Probably would have dealt with the sump system asap if I knew what trouble they were.
