I believe it was installed correctly. The house inspector suggested a deeper basin as a potential fix, but he also suggested getting other opinions.
There is a wall between this hole and the sump pump, and the contractor said that there is a footing beneath the wall, which would prevent flow of water from the hole and the area in that room to the sump pump. I would think the weeping tile around the foundation would catch it from below that level, but it’s not in this case.
