Inspection · Every 5–10 years

Sub-floor & Joist Inspection.

The manual asks for a joist inspection every 5–10 years. We access the sub-floor (where one exists), check bearers and joists for deflection, rot, termite damage, fungal growth, or moisture issues, verify ventilation is adequate, and flag any structural concerns. Critical on older builds and on sites with poor drainage history.
