OTHER SILL / SOLE PLATES: 
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, sill 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 seldom will mention whether or not the plate is bolted down. When this item is marked there may be a problem since normally redwood, cedar, or treated sill plates are used in construction to resist wood rot, etc. It may be necessary to have the plate treated in place by a Pest Control Company. Refer to the Inspector's Comments section of the Survey Findings Page for additional information.
