A stair stringer has a split at the throat of several notches. What should be done?

Correct Answer

A) Arrange an approved repair or replacement before use.

Keep the damaged stringer out of service pending evaluation. Restore adequate stair support through an approved repair or replacement; finish treads do not by themselves establish the capacity of split framing.

Arrange an approved repair or replacement before use.
B
Fill the split with finish putty and proceed.

Cover the split with treads without evaluating the damage.

Accept it because the top edge remains visually aligned.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Keep the damaged stringer out of service pending evaluation. Restore adequate stair support through an approved repair or replacement; finish treads do not by themselves establish the capacity of split framing.
