Ouch... In this case you might have to get the whole interior bottom replaced.

If you start ripping out everything. All you'll see is metal. FYI

You have to replace the floor joists. This is accomplished with bottle jacks to raise the floor high enough to fit new floor joistsalong side of the old ones.

Its best left to somebody who is experienced in construction

2011 Explorer water leak driver floor

The only water leaks I know that appear inside a vehicle is normally from a bad heater core, but that normally leaks onto the floor of the passenger side. I would check your heater core regarding this problem.

I have an1988 Chrysler fifth avenue. It has a miss, when you pull up to stop sign or red light it will stall out and die but starts right back up, sometimes back fire through carb if you hold gas throttle...

Check for a vacuum leak under the hood. Most heater and a/c systems rely on vacuum pressure to open and close doors and direct hot and cold air. The vehicle stalling could also be that vacuum leak. Look for a small diameter hard plastic hose. They always seem to dry rot, if it's bad it will fall apart when you move it. Best way to find a leak is to use a 2'-3' piece of water hose. Put one end against your ear to listen for vacuum leaks while the engine is running.

My 94 gmc jimmy is having a little problem that idk how to fix...the radiator fluid is somehow leaking into the floor of the passenger side and it seems to be coming out of the floor heater vents...if...

The idle could be a few things dirty air filter or fuel filter i would check these first you don't mention any engine codes so its likely a minor problem . The antifreeze leaking inside is comeing from the heater code eighter you should check the heater hoses that connect to the core to make sure its not leaking at the nipple but you have a 94 so it may be the core it self has a hole rotted in it or poped a solider joint. How dose the heat work in the vehicle is it ok or blowing cool or cold air . this will tell you a lot because clogged heater cores tend to rot out where if you have good heat then it maybe a minor leak at the hoses good luck with it

Water leaks on passenger floor in my 97 honda civic

I have a 1997 Toyota Camry. Water was collecting on the front PASSENGER floor after a rain. I opened my sunroof and found the front drainage holes (about 1/8" diameter) in the corners of the track sunroof track. They looked clear. I poured a bottle of water in track and watched the result. Sure enough, water started dripping from the right ride of the glove box on to the floor. I started tearing out the interior panels to trace the leak. What I found is that if I poured the bottle of water REALLY slow into the sunroof hole = no leaks. But if I pour it too fast the small 1/8" hole cannot keep up and the track overflows! THAT is where the leak comes from in my car! If water overflows the track, then it makes its way down the column trim, around the glove box and on to the floor.

So I need to help the 1/8" sunroof hole drain faster. I took some 18AWG TFFN electrical wire and jammed it into the hole to help clean it out. I then removed the black plastic mud flap behind my front tire and blew out all of the leaves and rotted debris that where behind that flap. It was packed with junk! I poured more into the 1/8" hole and it seemed to drain quicker.

I hope this information helps others.
