Generated explanation

A cross section shows a basement foundation wall, adjacent backfill, and the wall and floor framing above. Insulation is depicted along the interior foundation wall and at the rim joist. Dashed circles and green check marks identify clues that insulation has been added: visible insulation at rim joists, protective board or parging with flashing over exterior insulation, and insulation visible at electrical outlets or light switches. The bottom of the section also shows the foundation footing, basement slab, and an exterior drain pipe in aggregate.
