Hello all,
I am buying a house with 3 inches of water in the crawl space. No foundation
issues but need a permanant fix. I am looking to install a sump because
groundwater is the source of my mess.

A sump pump is a bandaid. You need a long term fix.

Is the ground sloped away from the house?Â* Do the downspouts drain water at least 10' away from the foundation?
