Home inspectors are seeing more floor truss systems
because they are replacing manufactured “I” joist flooring systems. I
think that this is happening because of the poor fire rating of
manufactured I joists. Although we know that installing fire rated
drywall significantly increases the rating. Floor trusses offer some
unique benefits that conventional joists and manufactured I joists do
not. Floor trusses also offer long unsupported spans and can be used
for cantilevering. Most floor joists are built with a 2X3 or 2X4
chord. Spaces in the web of the
truss allow room for electric runs, HVAC and plumbing pipes. If you refer to the detail above, you
will see the areas on a floor truss that should not be notched, cut, or
drilled. This is very important, as doing so will not only reduce the
strength of the member, it may also cause complete failure. So what
should a home inspector be looking for when inspecting floor trusses? MORE...
