Hi-
We are replacing our ceramic tile floor and sub floor and have
discovered that there is some minor wood rot on the tops of some of
the beams (about 1/2 inch deep). Is it possible to repair this damage
and would that pass an inspection in the future? If so, what are the
best ways to repair this type of rot?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just sister some new ones in. Do you know what I mean when I say sister?

Good advice above!

I once removed a mudset on mortar bed ceramic and had the top 1.5" missing
due to the mud layer. I single sistered each joist with one approved for
the span (the old ones were oversized to allow for the top trimming).
Passed more than one home inspection with flying colors.

I think that you mean just add another 2x4 on the side of the rooted
boards, right? Do we need to treat the rot?

Is it dry rot or from moisture getting in? It should dry out just being
exposed. If you're concerned take a chisel and remove it.

Yes that's what I mean when I say sister. You might want to screw the 2 X in
instead of nailing. Nailing can cause cracks or drywall nails to show up on
other side.
