• Screws backing out in rows across the panels
• Leaks that move around with the wind direction

Why this comes up in Mill Village

Here's what makes Mill Village particular: leBoeuf Creek runs north from here toward Waterford and Lake LeBoeuf, and the low ground follows it.

Mill Village is a small borough on the Route 19 corridor south of Waterford, in LeBoeuf Township farm country, and that shapes what gets built here.

What a builder will do

Sometimes the fix is re-screwing with oversized fasteners; often it's stripping to the purlins and laying new panels. A builder should get up there and tell you which it is — and check the purlins and trusses while the roof is open, because this climate finds every weak point in a frame.
