yesterday I helped a nice lady in North Tustin in Orange County to determine the cause of a loud noise she kept hearing with the roof framing. I discovered that this beam crack was the cause of the problems. www.ocstructurecheck.com
Depending on the type of crack in the beam, there could be flexural failure imminent. Flexural failure is a slow gradual failure. It requires a structural retrofit / strengthening solution.
Feel free to contact OC Structure Check for an assessment and consultation.
