STRUCTURAL INSPECTION
Structural assessment of the second-floor framing to evaluate the condition, performance, and structural integrity of the existing wood joists, with emphasis on identifying signs of deterioration, deflection or any reduction in load-carrying capacity.
HOW TO IDENTIFY A WOODEN JOIST CONDITION?
To identify a wooden joist in bad condition, look for signs of rot, insect damage, moisture infiltration. These include sagging or uneven floors, visible rot or decay, and loose or missing fasteners. Also, listen for creaking or popping sounds when walking on the deck or floor.
