Sagging Roof & Structural Repair
Sagging Roof & Structural Repair
A roof that dips, waves, or sags along a ridge or slope is usually telling you something about the structure underneath, not just the surface. Rafters, trusses, or decking that have taken on water over time can lose strength long before a leak ever shows up inside. This service focuses on finding the source of that weakness and correcting it, so the repair addresses the framing and decking, not just the shingles or membrane on top.
Finding the Cause
- Moisture Meters & Wood Moisture Meters — Direct readings through decking, rafters, and fascia show exactly where water has traveled and how far the damage extends.
- Drones with Thermal & High-Res Cameras — Aerial thermal imaging locates wet insulation and soft spots without anyone walking a compromised roof first.
- Core Sampling Tools — On flat roofs, a small test cut shows every layer, so a repair plan is based on what is actually there.
Repairing the Structure
- Framing Nailers & Cordless Impact Drivers — Used to rebuild decking, rafters, and blocking properly while the roof is open.
- Reciprocating Saws & Roofing Shovels — Rotted decking and old fasteners are cut and stripped out cleanly rather than covered over.
- Framing Squares & Laser Distance Meters — Layout is checked before the first new fastener, so ridges and edges land straight and level again.
This work often pairs with related repairs to fascia, soffit, and decking, and can extend into a full roof-over where the covering above the structure also needs attention.
