Congrats Skip!Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

This is the home owner's disclosure and remedy...seems to be legitimate.

Sold!!! You can't go wrong with documentation. Good luck to you and the family.

Might still consider flood insurance, just for piece of mind. Pretty cheap unless you're in a flood zone which it sounds like you're not.

Ken is in the biz as well. Sage words of advice. -

FYI: Flood Insurance is for damage from Flood Waters

Third Section in "What's Not Covered" •Damage caused by moisture, mildew or mold that could have been avoided by the property owner

Water doesn't care who you are or what's in the way. It will find a path through, around or under a structure.
Got that right.
If I may also suggest, instead of having the pipes outlet at the curb, which is susceptible to water back up on the street, make the outlet about 8 feet back at a higher elevation than the curb. Providing that elevation is still lower than the pipe in the house obviously. You can also hide it with some creative landscaping and rocks so the water doesn't erode the grass in that 8ft behind the curb.
Also, because the foundation in the basement has no leaks now, doesn't mean it won't down the road. The key to all this is to not have standing water against your foundation as it will eventually find it's way in.
If your sump pump is still cycling on and off even on dry days, you have a much bigger problem and I'd walk away. Go see the house on a dry day, spend time in the basement asking mundane questions as you listen for that sump pump to kick on.

Good point, but I highly doubt they'd release that info to anyone other than the homeowner.HT SYSTEM-

It appears we are getting the home regardless. We looked at it again last night, paying close attention to the dump...there was some significant rainfall recently and the sump wasn't running excessively...the remedial measures looked adequate. Our offer has been verbally accepted, but still waiting on the contract.Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky.

Jeremy,
Hows the back of the house ? The front looked sloped towards the curb, but is the back sloped away or towards the house ? Might also be wise to have a radon test done and make your offer contingent on the home inspection.
Take a look at the downspouts too. If they are ejecting right next to the foundation, it would be better to put some extensions on them to help keep water away from the foundation. Sometimes simple things matter.HT SYSTEM-

Have them throw in life jackets or snorkels.
JK
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -
The downspouts are piped out to the curb along and three 12" yard drains in the back yard, which is very flat, have been added. The Radon testing is pretty standard, in our neck of the woods nowadays, and the contract is contingent on a home inspection and remedial action. We are excited about it. The home is in one of the nicest subdivisions in our city and was built in 2002 by one of our areas most respected home builders, Diyanni Brothers.
Life Jackets...my kids would just love that...Hey dad can we go swimming in the basement?Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world.

Yeah we hoped this was going to be a significant year for us. New job lined up, Getting my degree in August, our youngest starts preschool in the fall, and purchasing a home in a nicer subdivision. Been home with the kids since our first child was born in 2009...I am very excited to get back to work. The last few years have offered more than I could have imagined growing up in a piss poor farm town in south east meigs co. Ohio. Feeling very blessed, at the moment.Oh, Listen here mister.
