Can a pressure treated foundation be placed on the basement concrete slab?

Hello, My name is Terry and I am a help expert in the building and construction field. Yes, it is possible to construct a treated lumber foundation. It must however, be constructed and inspected by your local building department. There are minimum specifications that can be obtained from the International Residential Code, International Building Code, Universal Building Code, California Building Code and other codes that are specific to different areas of the country. You must work closely with your building official to determine which code you should be following. Structural design is the basis for safety and durability in a structure, and should always be completed by a competent individual. In my area we require that licensed design professionals such as structural engineers and architects be involved with most designs. With wood foundations, moisture and pest deterioration are probably the most significant issues. In some areas, such as California, seismic considerations are also in effect. It is always best to verify CODE SPECIFIC information with your local Building Official and/or Building Department as local laws and codes do tend to vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. I hope you have found this helpful! Terry CBO

Are styrofoam sheets used in place of sheet rock when building a garage in a single family home?

No! Absolutely not. OK, I'm no building inspector but my understanding is that sheet rock is used because of it's excellent resistance to fire (it's made of powdered rock). Styrofoam melts like cotton candy under heat. If you are renting a property with exposed styrofoam, call the local government's building inspector and ask what you should do.

Do you capitalize the word inspector?

Yes, the word "Inspector" should be capitalized when it is used as a title before a person's name or as part of a specific job title. For example, "Inspector Smith" or "Chief Inspector Johnson." However, if it is used generically to refer to a person who inspects something without a specific name or title following it, then it is not capitalized.
