You should address that with exterior grading and diverting gutter run off so far away from the structure that it can’t seep back toward your basement.

If water can get in, it will. And it will do it when your sump is not operating.

If you’ve already addressed it externally and you’re still seeing water come in, then you didn’t address it completely. End state should a totally passive system where the sump never even fills.

And if that doesn’t work, sell the house and get one on top of a hill!
