sagging roof
Bowed overhead covering
A sagging roof is one that droops or dips where it should be straight, typically from structural damage, age, or water accumulation.
The phrase describes both the physical condition and implies needed repair: The old barn's sagging roof finally collapsed under the snow.
Insurance adjusters and home inspectors use the term to flag structural concerns.
