Treasure Valley Home Inspectors

Hey, Treasure Valley! Sam here!

This photo shows a broken truss web in the attic. Truss webs are engineered structural components designed to help distribute and support the weight of the roof. When a truss web is damaged or broken, the truss can no longer perform as intended, potentially affecting the structural integrity of the roof system.

This is a good example of why we spend time in attics during inspections. Issues like this aren’t always visible from the living space, but they matter for the overall performance of the home.

Hey Treasure Valley! Sam and Logan here!

At a recent home inspection, we come across a hidden issue that can lead to major problems if left undetected - tree root intrusion in sewer lines.

This happens when tree roots naturally seek out moisture and nutrients, finding their way into small cracks or joints in underground pipes. Once inside, they continue to grow and expand over time, often causing:

⚠️ Slow or backed-up drains
⚠️ Recurring blockages
⚠️ Pipe damage and structural failure

What starts as a tiny crack can quickly turn into a costly repair if it’s not caught early. That’s why thorough inspections matter. We look beyond the surface to help you understand what’s happening beneath your home—before it becomes an emergency.

Have questions or want peace of mind about your sewer system? We’re here to help!

Hey Treasure Valley! Sam & Logan here! 👋

Hidden issues like this plumbing leak can go unnoticed until they cause serious damage. This one was leaking into the wall, onto the subfloor, and down into the crawl space.

That’s why a thorough inspection matters!
