Standing water in crawl space at inspection

[Michelle Pietras]

We put a offer on a 4plex and had the inspection yesterday (a day after it snowed). We found standing water in the crawl space which is concrete pillars/walls but dirt flooring. No sump pump or drainage system. Inspector didn't seem worried about it or potential mold. We are thinking of asking sellers to install a sump pump or some sort of drainage system. Has anyone been through this or have any advice about the standing water? I'm sure it's weather related. House was built in 1976.
