Causes Of A Dip In A Roof

When you stand at a distance and look at your roof, you want to see level and straight planes. If you have started noticing a dip or a sag on the roof, it’s time to reach a renowned roofer. There are several causes of dips and sags on a roof. Fortunately, most cases can be remedied with a shoestring budget, but others may need substantial repairs.

Homeowners should not overlook dips regardless of their size. If not attended to on time, they can threaten the integrity of their home’s interior. Don’t be tempted to conclude on your own. It’s only a person with vast knowledge in roofing that can determine the precise causes of low spots and sags in a roof.

Here are common causes of a dip or sag in a roof.

Impact Damage

A heavy object, such as a tree branch that falls on the roof, can disintegrate the decking’s underneath the area of impact. If the object is a little bit heavy, the trusses and rafters can be damaged too. Additionally, heavy hails can crack the decking’s and thus deteriorating the roof.

Structural Defects

Structural defects mainly occur due to the builders’ fault. In most cases, the defects are a result of home modifications that incapacitate the supporting components. For example, some homeowners remove part of a rafter to create room for a window or a skylight or the centerboards from trusses to expand the attic’s storage area.

Warped Decking

In some instances, the plywood used for decking can warp on the edges, especially if the roofer didn’t install the supporting clips correctly. Also, inadequate ventilation in the attic can cause warped decking.

Roof Leak

A leaky roof might cause the sheathing to rot and collapse, partially making the area to dip. In most cases, a roof dip due to a leak occurs near the dormer or the chimney. It is easy to identify collapsed sheathings from below. They tend to be dark and discolored and with mold growth.

How to Resolve Sags in A Roof

If you notice a dip in your roof, you should contact a renowned roofing contractor for roof repair. The professional will inspect your roof to determine the exact cause of the dip and advise you on whether the issue can be corrected immediately, or it should be postponed until when you will require to replace the entire roof.

Reviews From Our Customers

Brandon and Eldridge Roofing did a spectacular job! They were thorough and informative. The knowledge and experience that he had, was extensive and he was exquisitely professional! This was my first insurance claim for my house. He walked me through every step and let me know what to expect and/or anticipate. I would recommend to anyone who needs a knowledgeable and patient roofing company!

Spring, Texas

Michael was so thorough in explaining our options. He was nothing but professional. Everything happened as he explained it would. They did a wonderful job on our roof. And as Michael said, you couldn’t even tell they had been at our house and replaced a roof. Their clean up is remarkable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend Eldridge Roofing for your roofing needs!

Leasha Davis

Spring, Texas

We’re very pleased with our new roof & customer service from Mike Marriott, Ashely & the crew. The roof looks great and our seasoned adjuster even commented on the great quality materials & workmanship. The crew was fast and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. After receiving quotes from several other roofing companies I am glad that we went with Eldridge and would highly recommend them.

Miranda Harris

Houston, Texas

Eldridge Roofing was recommended to me after I suspected my roof may have been damaged during a recent storm. Brandon Holland came out and thoroughly inspected every inch of my roof. He was able to clearly explain the problem and had a solution not far behind. The entire process from start to finish was exceptional. We will definitely be using Eldridge for any future issues or projects that may come up! Thanks again!

Sarah Grant

We discovered Eldridge Roofing from a neighbor and asked them to give us an estimate. We worked with Shannon who came as scheduled and worked efficiently with our insurance company to get us the best roof for the best price. He followed through with us every step of the way and we are very pleased with the quality, professionalism and complete honesty of Shannon and the rest of Eldridge staff. Highly Recommend!

Dorothy Chapman

I have used Eldridge Roofing at one our rent houses for a roof repair, and also a full internal repair from water damage from a burst pipe. At another rent house they replaced the whole roof and it was an hour and a half drive out of town for them. They also replaced the roof at my residence. Brandon the Project Manager is very professional and thorough. I highly recommend them.
