Roof Sagging: Common Causes and What to Do About It

Larry Walty II • April 29, 2020

According to commercial roof repair experts, apart from roof rot, sagging is another issue that you won’t want to deal with. Not only will it cost you a significant amount to repair but it’s also a hazard to have in your building as a sagging roof means that the system is structurally compromised. But what exactly causes sagging roofs?

Here’s everything you need to know about roof sagging.

Roof Sagging: Common Causes

There are a few reasons as to why your roof is sagging. One of the potential reasons is that your roof has too much weight on it. This is because most roofing systems are designed to hold only a certain amount of weight. Once you’ve surpassed that weight amount through various causes such as snow and ice build-up or having too many shingle layers, it’s guaranteed that your roof will eventually sag because of the weight.

Age is also a possible cause of sagging roofs as a roof that’s approaching the end of its lifespan means that the roof’s structural integrity has already deteriorated. When this happens, it’s best that you enlist the services of commercial roofing contractors to replace the roof. Alternatively, if your roof was improperly installed, to begin with, sagging is one of the side-effects that you’ll soon see.

What You Can Do About Roof Sagging

When your roof begins to sag, it’s never recommended that you tackle the problem on your own. Instead, it’s best that you leave the repair or replacement project in the hands of the professionals. With that in mind, if you notice that your roof is sagging, hire an expert roofer to perform the necessary repairs or replacements immediately. That way, your roofing issue can be rectified before it causes further problems for your building.
