Expert Roof Truss Evaluations and Engineered Repair Design
The roof truss system is the backbone of your building's roof, critical for maintaining structural integrity against snow, and wind loads. Whether you're dealing with storm damage, planning a renovation, noticing signs of stress, or need an inspection for a property transaction, Pisano Development Group provides professional, detailed truss evaluations and custom-engineered repair solutions.
Our Comprehensive Truss Evaluation Process
A damaged or improperly altered truss can lead to progressive failure. Our engineers perform a thorough, non-destructive inspection to identify points of compromise and areas of potential stress.
- Damage Assessment: We inspect for common issues such as moisture damage, rot, insect damage, fire damage, and mechanical damage (e.g., attic storage overloading, unauthorized cutting of chords).
- Connection Point Analysis: We will evaluate the metal plate connectors (gusset plates) for separation, corrosion, or deformation, which are common points of failure.
- Deflection and Sagging Measurement: We will measure deflection or sagging which may indicate excessive stress or improper loading.
- Loading and Alteration Review: We assess if the current loading conditions (HVAC units, attic conversions, equipment) to determine if the truss should be repaired or improved in the location of any field modifications or cuts.
Engineered Repair and Remediation Design
If damage or design flaws are identified, we can develop a solution.
- Custom Repair Plans: We develop detailed, stamped engineering drawings for truss repair.
- Compliance with Local Codes: Our repair designs are stamped to address the requirements of local building department, streamlining the permitting and construction process.
- Modification Designs (For Renovation): If you need to cut or alter a truss for a skylight, ductwork, or attic access, we provide the necessary engineered reinforcing plans to redistribute the load.
- Contractor Guidance: We work collaboratively with your chosen contractor, offering clarity and support to ensure the repair is executed as specified in the engineered plans.
