sump pumps, should i buy a house that needs it?

[Wilder Osorio]

i am looking to buy a 2 unit house, and i really like one of the properties but there is one thing that worries me, and that thing is a sump pump. The sump pump was installed in 2011 because the owners had the basement flooded back then.

so i am worried because before i used to work for a restoration company and most of the work i had to do was cleaning basements because the sump pump clogged or failed, so my question here is, should i buy a property that needs a sump pump? or should i just let it go? thanks.

PD: they said the installation and the actual the sump pump costed 9k also has a back up battery.
