You're getting maybe 50 gal per hour?
Assuming it's coming out of the rock strata part of the house is built on, where's most of it been going, by itself, since you first noticed it?? 50 gal/hr would put a lot of water in a bsmt if it didn't have some drain or outlet taking most of it away...to where??.
You mentioned drainpipes under the bsmt floor; is that the usual const there, or were they put in because the builder knew there was water in that spot in wet years? Assuming the house is built on sloping ground, and the drainpipes drain to the lower side, was there any evidence on the ground they'd drained water in the past?
Just idle curiosity on my part; no need to reply if you're sick of talking about it!! Good luck with the pump.
50 gal/hr...got enough slope to add a little siphon, to cut wear on the pump?
