wood foundation

[jodil]

What is the purpose of this already deteriorating plastic sheeting on a wood foundation? Should a wood foundation just be left exposed like this on the exterior? ps... we dont have termites or ants here so pests arent a problem.

thanks

You didn't include a picture. Wood foundations are supposed to have a 6-mil poly film on the outside, but you shouldn't be able to see it without digging.
