How Lumber Shrinkage Can Affect Wood Trusses

Wood is a natural material, and even after it has been cut, dried, and installed as part of a truss, shrinkage can still cause it to change shape slightly as moisture levels shift over time.

Understanding what causes shrinkage makes it much easier to spot early warning signs before a small issue becomes a larger structural concern.
