Damaged Truss, New Construction Home Inspection Find

Damaged Truss


During the final inspection of a new construction home, Ashi-Certified Inspector, Britt B. identified a concerning issue with one of the trusses. A damaged truss was discovered, which could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the roof system. Trusses are crucial components that distribute the load of the roof evenly, ensuring stability and support for the entire structure.

The damage observed on the truss may have occurred during the construction process or could have been a pre-existing issue. Regardless of the cause, it is essential to address this matter promptly to prevent further deterioration and potential safety hazards.

We highly recommend engaging a qualified structural engineer to assess the extent of the damage and provide expert guidance on the necessary repairs or replacements. It is crucial to ensure that the truss is restored to its original strength and integrity, adhering to the building code standards and regulations.

As a responsible party involved in the construction process, we are committed to resolving this matter swiftly and ensuring that the home meets the highest safety standards. The satisfaction and safety of our valued homeowners remain our top priority, and we will work diligently to address and rectify this issue to ensure a secure and sound new home for you.
