TREATED SILL / SOLE PLATE
TREATED SILL / SOLE PLATE:
The sill plate is the framing member which sits
directly on the foundation, slab, or footing.
Other names may be base-plate, mudsill,
sole-plate, etc. In newer construction this
plate is bolted to the foundation. Many older
buildings have sill plates which are not bolted
to the foundation. Since this was an acceptable
building technique at the time, the inspector
will not necessarily mention whether or not the
sill plate are bolted down. Pressure-treated
sill-plate means that the sill plate has been
chemically treated to resist wood boring
insects, biological decay, fungi, etc. The
chemical is forced into the wood under high
pressure to ensure complete saturation, making
this type of lumber suitable for direct burial,
contact with concrete, and many other uses where
ordinary wood would be rapidly rotted.

If you can not afford a qualified and experienced New Jersey Real Estate Lawyer and home inspector you should carefully consider if you should continue buying a home at this time. Sure qualified and experienced New Jersey Real Estate Lawyers and home inspectors cost more however in the long run having both on your side are likely to save you money and better yet aggravation. I do not know about you and your life experience but I have seldom found a low price to be the least expensive option. Many times (more than I can count) I have tried to save a few dollars and ended up with my blood boiling with frustration after being given poor advise or worse yet when my phone calls are not returned. Yes, hiring true professionals with full time office staffs costs more, however I have found it to be something worth paying extra for.
