After a Roof Collapse in Artà: Termite Alarm on Carrer de les Roques — Who Takes Responsibility Now

Answer

Are older houses in Artà more at risk from termite damage?

Older houses in Artà can be more vulnerable because many still have exposed beams, traditional roof structures, and older materials. Moisture after rainy periods and limited ventilation can make conditions more favourable for termites. Regular checks matter more in these buildings than in newer construction.
