Hard to say who's "fault" it was. The panel is a modern upgrade, and the sump pit was obviously recently added. That sorta reminds me of this scene from a Volkswagon commercial a few years back:

The sump pump is obviously brand new.
The panel was recently replaced, but it on an OLD back board.

I call it the sump pump installer's fault.
Hey, at least the cord reaches and he did not have to use an x-cord.

Looks more like to basement water proofing guys did this. I noticed the floor had been replaced about 1' around the edge. Wall board is probably FRP panels (tucked down in concrete). Did they fix the wall leaks or just hide them?
