Bottom chord problem

Post Reply | Watch this Post

I may not have stated the correct things in the post before. I am repeating only what the warranty department has stated.

I now know after looking at the drawing, that it is the bottom chord. The bottom chord is off by 1/4 inch and is supposedly causing my celing to be pushed down. In return, you can see every outline of the drywall, throughout all the rooms in the house. It is actually coming apart at every seam along each sheet.

Along each seam that is coming down from the ceiling, the walls have bowed out and cracked.

Hopefully this gives a better understanding.

The warranty department told me they would jack up the "chord" which they are calling a truss and shim it.

My question once is again, is this going to solve my problem throughout the house? And by the way I have asked already for an engineer to come in before they touch anything.

Thanks for all the help
