What is the most frequently neglected part of any basement? It's the rim joist, also known as band joist, or sill plate. It is one of the major sources of air infiltration and heat loss in the building. A rim joist can leak more air than all the windows combined. So you can understand the fact that the amount of air enters or leaves through the rim joist area can contain a high level of moisture. Moisture, that can end up causing mold growth and rot and further structural destruction in the area. In addition to that, 40% of the indoor air actually comes from your basement. So, if the rim joists aren't insulated, mold will keep growing down there. As a consequence basement air will affect the air quality and create health problems for you. In fact, spiders, bugs, mice, and many small insects enter your building through the rim joist followed by more damage and disturbance.
