 plywood shims?

I ask cause this is the result. A crushed plywood shim. I believe because of waaayyy toooo much moisture under the home. foundation vents are closed. Hvac ducts insulation has been chewed off by pets, dryer vent uninsulated in the crawlspace, etc...

and the crushed shim, that dropped about 1/4 to 1/2 inch resulted in a horizontal crack upstairs between two door frames. The floor has a slope to it for about 2 feet towards this wall.

The problem in your pictures has nothing to do with the fact that the shim is plywood. That's the least of the concerns.

Hmm. Is that a puddle I'm seeing back underneath that ducting? My last inspection had that going on along with the LP siding action. Mine had all the joist bays filled tight with insulation. There was probably this going on too.
