Sagging (sagging) in the roof structure may be visible. This can have several causes, including a problem with the underlying joists or structure. Joists may be too weak or may have been modified, causing a weakening. It's also possible that the roof tiles are too heavy for the structure, or that other structural changes have been made, such as a dormer or skylight. As soon as the sagging increases, improvements can be made to the ridge beam, purlins, trusses, or other reinforcements on the inside of the roof surface.
In older homes, some saturation related to the year the home was built is not uncommon.
A kink may be noticeable on the underside of the roof. This is often caused by moisture rising or splashing up from the gutter, which has long-term affected the chipboard roof sheathing or the structure, causing it to weaken. The underside of the roof sheathing is likely weakened and sagging. This isn't necessarily a major problem, but it should be monitored.
