Truss Issues Uncovered: Why Phase Inspections Are Your Home’s Best Friend ποΈπ
The importance of thorough phase inspections during new home construction cannot be overstated, especially when it comes to identifying damaged or modified trusses. As a professional home inspector, I’ve encountered numerous instances where trusses were compromised, potentially jeopardizing the structural integrity of the building.
During our phase inspections, we frequently discover trusses that have been damaged during installation. This can include issues such as missing or damaged gussets, which are crucial components that connect truss members. Even more concerning, we’ve come across cases where trusses were cut without proper repair or authorization.
It’s crucial to understand that any modification or damage to a truss requires careful attention and professional assessment. Proper documentation, including engineering approval for the repair method, is essential. This ensures that the structural integrity of the home is maintained and that repairs meet necessary standards and building codes.
This is precisely why third-party phase inspections, like those offered by ProView Professional Home Inspections, are so valuable. Our experienced team can identify these issues early in the construction process, allowing for timely corrections and preventing potential long-term problems.
