What is a collapse? Collapse means an abrupt falling down or caving in of a building or any part of a building with the result that the building, or part of the building, cannot be occupied for its intended purpose. The collapse of a roof, building, or home can cause significant damages and loses not only to the structures, but to the contents inside.
There are a few warning signs that the roof or ceiling is under stress and about to collapse.
These warning signs include: visual cracking and/or blisters or circles on the ceiling, a loud cracking sound in the ceiling, sagging or dropping of the plasterboard sheeting, or even doors or windows that may be hard to open or close. If you suspect that your roof may be collapsing it is crucial that you contact a professional right away to prevent a disaster from happening.
