SP has conducted a study on how mold growth develops on sill plates that have become wet. I realize that I myself need to reassess some opinions I have, not everything dries as well as I thought. :O http://www-v2.sp.se/publ/user/default.aspx?RapportId=12532#12532 Laboratory study of sill plates and beams exposed to rain SP Report 2011:18 Author Olsson, Lars Summary Our experience from construction site visits is that wooden sill plates are exposed to rainwater if it rains during the assembly time. However, there have been divided opinions in the construction industry about whether it is a problem with regard to the risk of mold growth. The study was conducted to investigate whether wooden sill plates and beams can withstand short-term exposure to water before or during installation and if there is a risk of mold growth occurring.
