Re: What makes a roof bow like this?
Bill,

What about the garage floor, any large cracks or uneveness?

By your last comments I assume that you are on a basement, and all of the foundation walls are visible?

Was the entire home and garage built at the same time or was there additions? The way that the valleys come together at the point where the drop appears to begin makes it look like that has been some adding on in the past. Maybe by a DIY homeowner that made miscalculations during construction.

Is the entire roof trusses?
Are all of the trusses still attached firmly at the gussets?
What about rafter spread (if any are present)?
Am I seeing a hump in the middle of the ridge or does one end drop down? It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like it drops down at the garage wall.
