am about to finalize my house offer "foreclosure" and found that the sump pit has about 12 inches of water. I checked my neighbors sump pits- no one has even a hint of moisture. Obviously no one has a sump pump. The inspector tells me to put a sump pump- what I am confused is where is the water coming form! He did not have any answer. He and the realtor tell me to fix it after I close on the house and that it may be a problem with a sprinkler of HOA(this is a cottage home in Colorado). Please advise..should I take a chance or am I looking at potential problem. An early response will be appreciated as I have only 3 days to object inspection. Thank you, Lonebuyer.
