Sounds like you are doing everything right.....that is good that you see no moisture. Of course, we are just talking online here, and have been making assumptions because we are not there.

IF there is no moisture, then there may be no HVAC problem. Moisture intrusion is any homes biggest problem. It could be just fatigue of the plywood top from poor framing underneath. Of course, we cannot see how warped it is or how bad the components are leaning.

They may need to turn off the water heater and drain the tank (which is a good thing to do every so often) to lessen the weight and get everything shored up.

Kudos to The Villages for sending out framers 8 years after a home was built. One can argue that they should, however, I know of no other builder that would do so after 8 years.

Keep us posted Gracie....
