Flip update from Southern Jersey.
Hello BP community !
I am now 2 years in, 4 flips sold, 4 flips under construction. Loving every bit of it. A recent one has been the most interesting one yet. Every single floor joist is rotted, including the sill plate. The home is a rancher. Luckily our contractor is not phased by this at all. He will be jacking up the house, replacing the sill plate, and fixing the floor with all new joists. We had a lot of rain here yesterday in southern jersey. Today I went over to check on progress and the crawl space had a ton of water in it. We seem to think it might be the crawl space entrance not having block around it. Now it just slopes in. Anyone have any experience with water in the crawl, and fixing it ? The dampness is what is rotting everything out.
