The most severe type of roof damage, known as structural damage, sometimes results in irreparable deterioration of the roof’s support system.
Numerous factors, including ponding water that seeps into the deeper layers of the roof and harms the wooden beams and trusses, the addition of an adjacent structure that jeopardizes the stability of the entire building, design flaws, as well as improper roof modifications, may result in structural roof damage.
The process of fixing this kind of damage is typically as complicated as the problem itself, with the appropriate course of action being decided upon based on the cause and severity of the original issue.
If your roof exhibits any signs that make you think of possible structural damage, your roofing East Lansing company will examine each and every component of your roof, to identify the issue’s root cause before deciding on potential fixes. You must be aware that structural damage cannot always be repaired; in certain situations (e.g., severe sagging), there is only one completely safe and responsible remedy: the removal of the entire roof and the installation of a new one after also fixing and consolidating the resistance structure. In these cases, compromises are not a good idea, because the risks are too big.
