Answer

Can heat damage ceilings and walls in Mallorca homes?

Yes, prolonged heat can contribute to cracks, fatigue in materials and problems in older structures, especially where maintenance has been neglected. In Mallorca, this can be more noticeable in buildings with aging concrete, moisture issues or corrosion in metal reinforcement. Heat alone is not always the only cause, but it can make existing weaknesses worse.
