Is This Beam in My Attic Rotted or Just Bad Lighting?
Asked by CuriousCat1991
I have some concerns about a beam in my attic that appears to have dark spots. My house was built in 1973, and although it passed inspection, I'm unsure if what I'm seeing is actual rot or just an illusion from bad lighting. I've had HVAC and two FiOS technicians up there, and I'm assuming if they saw anything wrong, they would have mentioned it. It's tough for me to check since I can't access the attic easily. Here's a link to the picture for reference: https://imgur.com/a/HTSC4GR.

You might want to check out some other photos for comparison. It could just be the lighting making things look worse than they are. Here's a link to those additional photos: https://imgur.com/a/WFfnO5f.

LogicalThinking87: I don't see anything that looks rotted in your pics. Can you point out what boards are concerning you?
