Even a bit of unevenness on your roofline is a cause for concern. A small sag may not mean your roof is on the verge of collapsing, but it is nevertheless a serious problem that should be repaired as soon as possible. An experienced roofer can pinpoint the exact cause of the sagging and take the necessary steps to correct it.
Precision #1 Contractors, your local roofing and stucco contractor, shares the primary causes of sagging on residential roofing systems.
Most residential roofs are sloped to allow precipitation that lands on the roof to drain efficiently. Over time, however, wear and tear can cause water to seep into the roof and cause moisture damage. If not addressed properly, trapped moisture encourages mold and mildew growth, weakening the structure and causing sagging in certain areas. Schedule a roof inspection to get to the bottom of your roof sagging problem.
A well-built roofing system is engineered to withstand the additional weight of snow and ice. However, it can only hold a specific amount of weight, and exceeding this limit can compromise the roof’s structural integrity. You can use a snow rake to clear the roof and reduce the load, but frozen shingles are at risk of breaking off. There’s also the danger of ice chunks falling on you. Before winter arrives, ask a roof and stucco repair contractor to determine whether your roof is ready to carry heavy snow loads.
Roofs begin to fail once they are near the end of their projected lifespan. Proper maintenance can help extend the roof’s lifespan, but if sagging has occurred, you need to contact your local roofer as soon as possible. Upon inspection, they may recommend a complete replacement.
