Yeah, i imagine in cases where this is to be expected, the sumps themselves need to be much larger (or have more of them) and the pumps need to be higher duty and intended to move more water. Certainly exceptional, but i'd hope anticipated in the design. Our sump here runs all the time when it rains, but then it goes for weeks without moving any water (especially in the winter). When we moved into this house, the pump was broken, but there was also water damage in the basement. First thing i did was replace it and now its a common sound to hear the pump running.
