Hey everyone,
Hoping to get a professional opinion. Yesterday we noticed a crack in one of the rafters. What I would like to know, is if this will cause serious damage and needs to be fixed immediately? Will sistering the rafter be sufficient, or at least until I can get a professional out to repair it? What can I do to repair it and prevent it from splitting any further?
Not sure what caused it originally, but it might just be age. In California. Thanks in advance for your help.
