Hello! We just bought our house in May and the inspector said the crawl space looked good and was dry. He also said there is a french drain system in the crawl space and a sump pump. We are on the downside of a hill in our neighborhood and have noticed that when it rains, we get some water pooled close to the house.
We also live in SC and have had quite a bit of rain the past couple of days and checked our crawl space today and saw that there was water in it on the lower elevation but our sump pump is working and pumping water out.
I was nervous about the water in the crawl space and was wondering if we should do anything? I am also not sure since the inspector said everything looked good, dry, and clean. I am not sure if it is just the significant amount of water or what.
Any advice would be great! Thank you!
I also wanted to note the home was built in 1986
