## About this assessment

Is this assessment a substitute for an inspection? No. It sorts your situation into a rough urgency band from what you can see without tools. It cannot measure humidity, moisture content in the framing, or what is happening under an existing liner. How do I check if a joist is soft? Push a screwdriver into the underside of a joist or girder where it looks discoloured. Firm resistance means surface growth at worst. If it sinks in, the wood has lost section and that is structural. Do I have to give my email to see the result? No. The result appears immediately. There is a form if you want a real quote, but nothing is gated.
