Dangers of a Collapsed Roof
Roof collapses caused by heavy snowfall pose significant risks to both property and people in Spokane, as well as neighboring towns like Cheney, Liberty Lake, Medical Lake, and Deer Park. A collapsed roof can cause severe damage to structures, leading to costly repairs or even complete reconstruction. It also increases the chance of people getting hurt or killed if they’re inside when it happens. The sudden collapse can catch people off guard, causing injuries.
Additionally, a collapsed roof can disrupt essential services like water, electricity, and gas lines, making the situation more dangerous for residents of these areas. That’s why it’s crucial to remove snow promptly and check the structure to prevent these risks and keep everyone safe.

What Causes A Roof to Collapse
Collapsed roofing during winter is often caused by the accumulation of heavy snow and ice on the roof structure. In regions with substantial winter precipitation, the weight of accumulated snow can exceed the load-bearing capacity for which roofs are designed. Additionally, when snow accumulates and melts repeatedly, it can transform into dense and ice-laden formations, further increasing the strain on the roof. Poor insulation and ventilation can exacerbate the issue, leading to ice dams that trap melted water and contribute to the overall load. The gradual stress from these factors weakens the structural integrity of the roof, eventually leading to a collapse. Regular snow removal, proper insulation, and ventilation maintenance are crucial measures to mitigate the risk of roof collapses during the winter months.
