They identify the Problem

First, your roofer inspects your roof to find out the sagging area on your roof. Your roofing contractor inspects your roof decking and rafters in those areas where they notice sagging. Then inspect the plywood gusset which is installed in the area where wood connects to a truss. They identify all the damage including rot and crack.

 

Fix the Rafter or Truss

To fix the rafter, a roofer can use the ‘L’ channel to bring back the rafter into its original shape. They drill four holes in every side of ‘L’. Remove pieces of wood with the chisel and mount the ‘L’ into the rafter at the end. Then, they fasten the end of the channel with washers and bolts in the holes that they have drilled earlier. Move the broken piece into place. The gap between the rafter and the channel should be 1 ½ “– 2”. Then they tighten the bottom bolts farthest from the crack and the back bolt until it is close to the channel ad then tighten the front bolt until the rafter becomes secured. They follow the same procedure with other holes.

 

Fix the Gusset Plate

To fix the gusset plate, they remove and replace the plate with a new plywood gusset and attach the gusset to all the sides of the wood using nails.

 

Fix the roof decking

A professional roofer repairs a damaged decking by cutting ½ inch piece of plywood to cover the damaged area between rafters. Then, they glue the foam onto the plywood and place it keeping the foam side up. They place the plywood on the roof decking and ush the plywood until the foam touches the roof decking.

 

Repair the damaged roof shingles

If you have poor water drainage on your roof due to the clogged gutters, then it will surely damage the roof shingles. Shingles may also get damaged due to storms and the branches of your trees if there are any trees around your property.
