The joists are not rotting, but I have had standing water for a time
when the old pump quit working, also along one wall there is almost
what looks like a trench about 1 foot deeper than the rest of the dirt
floor and it has water in it, im not sure if this has eroded (sp?) over
the years or its part of the under ground drainage that goes into the
sump pump hole. Most of the ground is dry but certain parts are damp
and mushy
