The cement floors would literally get very damp to physically wet not from cracks but from the constant infiltration due to the hydrostatic pressure building up under the cement flooring & against the walls.I redesigned the sump pump system to discharge 30 feet downward from the natural slope of the lot & the perimeter of the basement walls.The basement is now so dry we no longer need the dehumidifier on nor does the floor exhibit any residual dampness.When I built my sons home we completely surrounded the perimeter of the home with a drainage system that directs the roof runoff & sump discharge 100 feet away to a French drain.

I wouldn't have an issue renting to someone who has previously filed bankruptcy and already had it discharged, but I wouldn't even consider renting to someone who is contemplating the initial filing of it. 

You added an appreciating asset while discharging a depreciating one so that's good.

The cost to increase these coverages is very low - probably less than $40.I would also add sewer and drain backup coverage (terms vary: water backup and sump discharge).

Another common cause are downspouts from the gutters discharging next to the foundation instead of directing the water away from the house.
