Re: A Moldy Crawlspace Nightmare Part 3: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

When I was buying my house the inspector found something similar but worse. The rim joist and sill plate had to be replaced and about 2' of the joists had to be sawed off and sistered with 2x12s. Some additional beams were installed with new cement footings to help carry the load. The problem was no vapor barrier, so all is fine now.
