A sagging roof often results from extensive roof damage. It is typically a sign of structural damage, poor roof design or other roofing issues. However, roof sagging may also be caused by other factors that are not roof-related. It’s best to hire a professional to pinpoint the cause of roof sagging, but it is also helpful to have an idea of what other issues can cause this type of damage.
Read on as Chase Roofing LLC discusses other lesser-known culprits behind roof sagging.
Quality of Building Materials
Using undersized or low-quality materials can contribute to roof sagging. To identify the areas that need improvement, consult experts and have them assess your home’s building materials.
Mold and Mildew
Generally, mold and mildew are caused by moisture or humidity problems. Over time, that can lead to more serious issues, like wood rot and roof sagging. Identify the source right away and have it addressed to prevent a recurrence.
Termites and Carpenter Ant Infestation
If your attic is infested by termites or carpenter ants, the wood rafters and trusses become vulnerable to damage. Before the material becomes weak and deformed, it should be treated and addressed by experts.
Foundation Failure
When the solid layers under the foundation of your home start to shrink, that causes the foundation to drop. This soil movement affects your roof too, causing it to sag or become wavy. Make sure to call experts so you can deal with the problem effectively. They will provide you with superior products and services to resolve the issue.
