Under the houses in Manahawkin
Inland mainland
Manahawkin sits in Stafford Township — the mainland hub of Stafford Township, set back from the bay behind Route 72.
Housing stock. A mix of post-war ranches and later subdivisions. Crawl space and slab are the common foundation types; full basements are the exception.
Ground and water. Flat sandy ground with a water table that sits close to the surface. Heavy rain moves through the sand quickly but has nowhere to drain once the ground is saturated.
Working here. Most properties here have driveway access and room for equipment, which keeps costs closer to the low end of any range.
Permits for work here go through Stafford Township, and no New Jersey municipality will issue one to an unregistered contractor.
