3E Inspection Procedure
SB-326 inspections primarily rely on visual inspection, examining exposed load-bearing elements, guardrails, and component integration. When wood frames are covered by siding or stucco, endoscopic testing is preferred over invasive destructive methods. This involves drilling small holes and using a borescope to inspect concealed wood. The holes are then sealed with watertight plugs. Moisture sensors detect potential dry rot for preventive maintenance. While infrared imagery can inspect exposed surfaces, it cannot assess concealed wood due to its wavelength limitations.
- Initial Consultation: We discuss your specific concerns and schedule a convenient time for the inspection.
- Comprehensive Inspection: Our inspectors perform a thorough evaluation of all relevant areas, including structural components, railings, and connections.
- Detailed Reporting: You receive a detailed report outlining our findings, including photographs, descriptions of issues, and recommended actions.
- Follow-Up Support: We offer guidance on repair options and can coordinate with contractors to execute necessary repairs.
