Warped/damaged roof truss?

Hi All! A bit of a novice here and poked my head inside a roof at an open for inspection.

I'm a little concerned by what looks like a leaning truss member and crack in another.

Any thoughts or comments very much welcome!!! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅

This is not a truss roof but has been built on site from hardwood. Photos don’t show much. Problems here shouldn’t worry you as much as under the house or where you can’t see. The 2 things I see is you have no sarking but the upside is the ceiling is insulated.

It's hard to comment as the photos area bit dark ( you might need a new 15 - just got one and wow

)

Jokes aside, I can see one member that is cracked. I would find a local framing carpenter and get them come and take a look and if they find any issues it is super simple and not expensive to add some new timber.

All the best
