Water seeps I’m from windows well. I’m fixing water issue from outside. 

Can I use pressure treated 2x4 for base of the stud frame. You can see in the pic it’s rooted due to water.

Thank you

Hi @Sai T. we had a similar problem happen a while back and water got in everywhere. We were able to fix the water issue, but had to replace a lot of dry wall and studs. I would recommend using metal studs as well, as they are more rot resistant. This is what we used, and havent seen any problems since.
