Greetings ,
I just moved to a newly constructed house in NJ . the house has a walkout basement with concrete walls and floating slab.
I find open space in between the foundation wall and the floating slab in the basement . Attached are some pictures showing the space I am referring to .
This space is about an inch in width and runs all around the basement walls
Should I look into sealing that space with some sort of foam or silicon or should leave it as is .
Would this be a place where insects could come into the house ?
Do I need to worry about this opening when trying to finish the basement at a later stage
Thanks in advance for the help,
