Hi all. Checking some things at the house today and Being as we have not had much rain lately and my sump pit almost at high-float, I like to dump some water in to fire it so I don't have that much water in the pit just sitting and to inspect the crock bottom for a cleaning checkup.

When I did this, I noticed my inlet for the foundation drain tile has some crap in it. Looks like goopy mud or clay. Not a whole lot I mean it's not fully blocked from what I'm able to see at the pit, so I was wondering is it normal or typical to see this kind of gunk in a drain tile that's only 20yrs old? House was built in 2001. See pics. Thanks
