Sandstone foundation ok?

[Jim Kaufman]

I am looking at a multifamily house built in 1925 with a sandstone foundation. The basement is damp as I would have guessed and dehumidifiers were in place. Of course, we have just had a major storm. I am not sure if this is something that I should be concerned about. I will most definitely get a professional to look at it before closing if I move forward. The walls look sound and straight but damp along with the floor. A foundation replacement is very expensive. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jim
