Garage Roof Trusses Sagging

If you notice that there is a visible dip in your roof chances are you have a problem with one or several rafters and you may soon be facing more issues like water leaks bowed out walls or your roof caving in on you.

Garage roof trusses sagging.

The previous owner mistakenly decided to store various items across the trusses causing sag. As demonstrated by the dent in my pickup s hood vibrations from the garage door opener can cause items to shimmy around and eventually crash down onto your car or you. The sag is visible from on the apex of the roof from end to end bowed and between the ends of individual trusses sagging in the middle. Try to rope in a friend or two as the beams can be heavy and try to plan your renovation project for a sunny weekend.

A sagging garage roof repair isn t an overwhelming task but it is best to get the job done before it becomes a major roof replacement. If you have traditional site built roof framing your storage capacity depends on the design of the framing.
