Radon System in Sump Pump Crock

This one has me puzzled. The radon system is installed in a pump crock. I can only figure that when they tested that they may have had high levels of radon in the water. Why would you install a radon system into a crock for a sump pump? The basement floor had excessive cracking that appears to be from hydrostatic pressure & there is evidence of moisture. The cracks appear to be worse due to the caulk that was used by the radon mitigator. The lid to the crock was sealed for the radon system. The lid doesnt flip open and is sealed for the radon system. How are you supposed to test the sump pump. If the pump fails then there is a problem with water intrusion. I feel that the radon & sump should be independent of each other. I recommended that the radon company and a plumber be contacted to evaluate the pump and to see why we installed the radon system in the crock. What do you think? There where also numerous hairline vertical cracks in the foundation walls.

Radon System Age

How old is the radon system? Maybe it was installed before ongoing maintenance issues were thought of and they just did it the easiest way they could.
