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

Answer

Can a roof collapse in Mallorca happen because of termites?

Yes, termite damage can weaken wooden roof structures over time and contribute to a partial collapse. The risk is higher in older buildings, especially where moisture, poor ventilation, or long periods without maintenance are involved. A small visible problem can hide much larger damage inside the wood.
