Ceiling Collapse at Plaza de l'Olivar: Questions About Safety and Responsibility

Answer

What should restaurant owners in Mallorca do if they have a heavy extraction system in an old building?

They should arrange a structural check before and after any retrofit, especially if the system is heavy or was added later. Old Mallorca buildings were often not designed for modern extraction equipment, so load calculations and proper installation are essential. A certified installer and regular maintenance can help reduce the risk of hidden structural problems.
