There are a few symptoms of timber sagging that you can look out for to try and catch the problem early on. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to organise a thorough roof health check with Air Roofing. The signs of sagging timber include:
- If the roof looks wrong or out of position
- Crooked or out-of-place tiles
