Your roof will gradually suffer from minor to significant wear as it ages. One of the most severe forms of damage that you should watch out for is roof sagging. Typically, problems with the roof’s structural components and the sheathing are the primary reasons behind this issue. Make sure to immediately call a professional to carry out roof repair or replacement.
In this post, Home Pro Exteriors looks deeper into the common causes of roof sagging and ways to solve it.
Improper construction results in the roof’s poor structure and weight-bearing capability. If your roof is sagging, it may be due to incorrect vertical truss positioning or faulty structural design. Low-quality materials can also lead to early deterioration of critical roofing components. You should call a reputable contractor to perform a thorough inspection of your roofing system. It’s possible that your roofer will have to rebuild the structure with high-quality materials, so make sure you’re working with dependable roof replacement experts.
A recent roof leak may have caused the rafters and roof decking to be exposed to water. When this happens, the material could suffer from rot or roof sagging. Call your trusted roofer ASAP to avoid bigger roofing problems. As a preventive measure, make sure your roof is inspected and maintained regularly. If there are holes or gaps, patch your roof immediately to prevent more serious water-related issues.
If your walls and foundation have become weak, they won’t be able to support your roof and all its components. Contact construction experts immediately so that they can check your property and address the issues with your home’s foundation.
A strong roof sheathing is essential to secure roofing nails and shingles. When this layer gets exposed to moisture, the material could rot and cause the roof to sag. To remedy this and bring your roof back to shape, you’ll need a full roof replacement.
