Can anyone identify what this huge hole/well? is in this basement?

Hi all,

Can anyone identify what this large hole/opening could be? I figured it could possibly be water related as to why I posted in this forum. Is it something that could hinder converting this into a habitable room?

Sump pump?

Yeah I think you're right. Just read up about them. Are they something that is permanently installed? Is it not possible to make it habitable room if it has a big pump down there?

You will find it an advantage as any water getting in is already being managed via the pump so it has potentially saved you a small fortune. At worst if it needs a new pump they are fairly cheap to replace and you can just reconnect it to the existing piping.

Ok thats good news. How would this work in a room? Is it something that is usually hidden away in basement conversions?

If the pump specs on outlet pipe sizes compare that is.

I`ve seen many smaller than that hidden away out of sight. Google the likes of Pumping Stations
