HVAC and RIM Joist issue
I have googled / AI'ed this and havnt been able to find advice. In my home, I noticed that the builder ran a heating duct up from the basement on an outside wall, and in doing this, they cut into the rim joists to make it work. If you see in the photos, you can see light, and some water markings. I want to water proof this and seal this. I am not so much worried about the support (at this point). Looking for advice on what to do/what to use. Spray foam? Water sealing spray (Flex Seal then foam on top?). Thanks so much, and if this is the wrong place to post, please let me know. Thank you everyone! https://preview.redd.it/nw7so5y2u2qe1.jpg?width=1180&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6858f83f0ff5d2944bd5f8fca9d61325fa6692c7 https://preview.redd.it/6dstz5y2u2qe1.jpg?width=1180&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be69eae3e4ed9f661e1cb79444ebbee89468e585 submitted by /u/Comfortable-Ad-4548 [link] [comments]
