Well, what can I say, the surprises never stopped. After the first rains of the season, I noticed 12" of standing water in my crawl space. Talking to neighbors, other houses in my line have similar problems and some have done expensive work of french drains+vapour barriers.
In one rain seasons, I had to pump out water more than 6 times. The furnace in winter was picking up air from the crawl-space and the whole house started smelling muddy.
Apparently this has been going on for a long time and my seller was apparently aware of it and discussed with his neighbors in the past to figure out how to remedy this problem. Looks like he had amnesia when he sold me the house in year which had little rains and a dry crawl space.
