The elevated base plate is useful preventing leakage or other water from coming into contact with wood, drywall, paneling, etc. forming a wall. The elevated base plate is further useful for allowing a better air flow around the wall and base plate. Further, the elevated base plate 100 is useful for preventing or controlling the growth of mold.
