The line out of the wall (I think) comes from the laundry discharge from the floor above. Then it goes up and then down to the sump pit below (not shown), however the longer line goes (towards the camera)to the other sump pit. Can anyone explain this? is this an overflow line?

Sorry Kevin, I tried to follow all that too. Couldn't make heads or tails of what you are asking

Yes, that’s what’s happening, but I don’t understand why it’s draining to two sump pits, and also why it’s plumbed the way it’s plumbed. It’s just plain goofy…(that’s a technical term)

Kevin,
Did one not too long ago that was plumbed similar to yours. Washer drain went up though a wall and down into a sump (single only) to be pumped outside. Then beside the sump for the washer were two more foundations sumps that were connected to each other. The washer sump was not connected to the other two, thank goodness. All three pits were side by side and all three had pumps in them. I guess the second foundation pump was just a backup.

Kevin,
Another uphill plumbing fix!!! It looks to be working as an overflow pipe. You'd think they could have come up with a better piping situation.
I also had a similar piping situation. The washing machine was draining through the pipe entering on the right side of the cabinet. I tried to figure out how the hell the water leaves this piping configuration as it gets pushed up hill.
