No worries on moisture.

I believe that this can lead to termites and extensive moisture damage in the structure of the property.

Metro areas which do not experience hard freezes or significant moisture.

The foam insulation insures that any possible dust from the nail penetrations is contained and therefore does not endanger the applicators or anyone else.  

Tile would be great, but possibly the noisiest option (impact noise) and the kitchen is right in the middle of the floor plan.I treated the sub floor to reduce noise, but am now considering laminate or even vinyl (due to better moisture resiliency).Is tile going to be much louder than the current existing sub floor (at least in terms of impact noise).

When we flip there we usually have to tear up the floors from the top side to do whatever repairs are necessary to get a clean termite/moisture inspection, then pray we get it sold before the letter expires.  

@Amit Friedlander  basic things to look out for when dealing with old houses in my area:-asbestos wrap/tile (some old houses have asbestos in the plaster, ceiling and floor tiles) -foundation / grading (look for cracks in the foundation and low spots in the yard that could cause water penetration)  My neighbor has to rebuild one of their basement walls (huge expense)   -up-to-date capital expense items (hvac, plumbing, electrical, roof, siding etc.)Akron area:Since I have worked here (2012 - present), it does look like they are making some gradual improvements - a lot of construction going on which can be a good sign of growth.  

It's a lot easier to scrape, clean and repaint a block wall in July when your moisture in the ground is much lower.Another selling comment - make sure to disclose the seepage on the property condition report.  

The ag extension services here estimate that the clay based soil in North Texas can expand and contract up to 10" (+/-) based solely on moisture content.  

She called letting us know the leak has started up again and there is now moisture in the basement.
