Any roof leaks or Mechanical unit condensation affecting the truss integrity? 10 years and a flat roof. Start looking a moisture problems.
Is the problem with all the trusses, a few, or just one? Is it in a particular area of the structure, or general in nature? What area of the country, or what country is this building in?
