Back at about 12 years ago my brother had a house that my mom and I were living in and we had about 4 or 5 sump pumps in the basement along with tile that went around the house and we still had water coming in the basement.
In my family home, we have one sub pump (it's just a hole straight to the weeping tile in the corner with a pump it it) and only had flooding in the basement when the rain was really bad or the sub pup burnt out, and my family home is the lowest in the area that is 1 degree away from pure swamp so our well never goes dry, it's a 300 ft long property with about a 5 foot grade from front to back hitting water less than a foot down at the back. Our house was also built by my step dad's dad(who wasn't a builder) almost 50 year ago at this point and there's no straight wall in the place.
They should make it law, where every sump pump has a battery back, by law. Where we used to live, and kicked out by my wife's daughter, who allowed us to keep some stuff there, One day there was an Ice dam on the Grand River, 2 blocks away, and they had evacuated the area and the town pulled power for the entire area, and the fact is there were 2 sump pumps in that basement, when they got home a day later, the water was up to second step down in the basement. Everything we had there had been in that basement, including all the film and projector that used to belong to my Grandmother, destroyed
I don't understand why they insulated the sub pump line. Or why he used foil tape on the seam instead of the right white tape that matches and is made for that insulation.
I believe they are trying to keep the cold from freezing up that discharge pipe again. I would guess that there is also a heating strip on the discharge pipe as well to help with that as well.
It's a "Cold Room" It gets that name as it's frankly the coldest spot. It would be like running a water line up that wall- Eventually if it gets cold enough it will freeze. Also the foil tape in that application is just fine. It's the same tape they use for heating and cooling systems.

Battery backups good idea but please remember everyone to change the Batteries every 3 years change the unit every 6 or 8

Or have a water powered emergency sump pump.
