Today I was working on cleaning out someone's basement. I was cleaning a small crawl space next to the sub pump. I noticed that this crawl space had two large square openinings on each side. Thinking they were just random holes I filled them with foaming sealant because he has an infestation problem. Upon finishing my cleaning I then noticed the sub pump running and a very large amount of water running into this area bringing with it all kinds of dirt, leaves, and insects. Naturally, destroying everything I had just occomplished. Now there is a lake in this crawl space and no explaination. Even more bizzarre is that it has not rained for a month and it is extremely dry. Is it normal? What is it? Why is it? How is it? Thanks for your help.

They were air vents you need to remove the foam so that the system will work properly.
