Why Is My Roof Sagging?

Roof issues can be stressful, especially when you begin noticing dips, curves, or uneven spots along your roofline. This problem, known as a sagging roof, is more common than many homeowners realize, especially here in Texas where the weather can be completely unpredictable.

The Most Common Signs

• A dip or curve
  
• Low or sunken areas along the edges
  
• A roofline that looks uneven when viewed from the street
  
• If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to address them sooner rather than later.
  
  

The Most Common Causes

• Excess moisture from leaks or poor drainage
  
• Extra weight from old shingles, debris, or standing water
  
• Damaged or aging rafters and beams
  
• Natural aging as roofing materials weaken over time
  
• When the roof structure begins to fail, it cannot support the weight above it anymore. If this is not fixed, the sagging usually gets worse over time.
  
  

This issue can be dangerous and extremely costly to fix if the damage spreads. In severe cases, parts of the roof system can even collapse. That’s why paying attention to early warning signs is so important.
The sagging will not improve on its own. The longer you wait, the worse the problem becomes. If you notice dips, sags, or uneven areas, reach out to us right away.
