Concrete slab against untreated rim in garage - already installed
Concrete slab against untreated rim in garage - already installed
(OP)
A contractor called on a project I am not involved with, but I will help if I can.
On a house construction project, the Owner wanted the garage slab poured for zero entry to the house after plans had been submitted and approved with conventional construction. Foundation installer set up an untreated rim along the interior wall to the house. County turned them down for untreated contact with concrete. This is all already installed. I can not find any modifications that would permit this to be constructed. I understand that all wall framing is up as well.
I would like to reach out and see if anyone has experienced this before or has come up with a solution to rectify the problem short of destructive removal of the rim on the floor system.

Assuming the wood isn't holding up anything structurally, is the only consequence that it could rot and leave a small gap between slabs? I think you could make the case to the building department that this is not super critical, and/or you will monitor the condition.
