s010627 How to determine a representative number?

Question

How many is a "representative number" - in this case I probed every other floor joist and every other subfloor board.

Response

Probing every other accessible joist and floor-board exceeds the probing requirements for joists and floor boards provided those with indications of or suspected deterioration were among those that were probed.
