QUESTION: the roof is about 15 years old and it is pitched and has shingles,

thank you

Answer
Hi Again,
All I can imagine is that the shingles are dried out. I might have thought the building was "settling" but not after 15 yrs.
Roof shingles are rated with 15, 20, 25 and 35 year warranties, yours could be either 15 or 20 in which case they need replacement.
