How is the property draining? Is any water getting into the foundation or the house? Where is the water coming from - the roof or the earth or both? What isn't job #1? Getting you to buy any old house. Get more home buying tips from your straightshooting Agent Susie at https://www.susiewyshak.com DRE 02144226 Compass
