Insulating the perimeter of the building above the foundation wall where the joists rest on top of the foundation.
Implications of missing installation are increased heating costs. If air sealing is not done well, moisture damage to structural components is possible. The rim joist area is a vulnerable part of the building. If the exterior grade is too high, the rim joist may be exposed to constant dampness from the ground around the home. The exterior grade levels should be at least six inches below the top of the foundation wall.

Happy Investing
