Sagging ceilings could be the result of roof leaks that have soaked your insulation making it heavier and placing more weight on the ceiling board, causing the glue and staples to break loose.

This also somtimes occurs when you attempt to blow more insulation into the roof than it is made to support. Sometimes the insulation is too heavy, sometimes it actually causes condensation (especially in colder climates)

Before attempting any repairs, find out where the original problem lies
