12 Signs Your Roof Could Collapse Soon

You've heard of roofs collapsing under the weight of snow in the winter, but a roof collapse can happen anytime of the year. If your roof is damaged at all, you take the risk of a possible roof collapse by not getting it fixed. Lake of the Ozarks roof repairs can let you rest easy knowing that your roof isn't going to come down on top of you. Use these warning signs to determine if you're roof could be about to collapse!

Warning Signs of a Roof Collapse


The older the roof, the weaker it becomes. If your roof is more than a few years old and you haven't had it checked out anytime recently, it's probably a good idea to scheducle a free roof inspection at the Lake of the Ozarks. However, call a roofing professional immediately if you see any of these signs:
  • Sagging Sections of the Roof or Ceiling
  • Cracks in Ceiling or Interior Walls
  • Leaky Roof
  • Creaking, Popping or Cracking Sounds Coming from Roof
  • Sprinkler Heads that have Dropped Below the Ceiling 
  • Bent Utility Pipes or Conduits that are Attached to the Ceiling
  • Doors or Windows that are Hard to Open or Pop Open on their Own
  • Bends or Ripples in the Roof Supports
  • Framing Screws that are Bent or Missing
  • Deformities in the Roofing Structure
  • Cracked or Split Wood Components
  • Cracks in the Exterior Masonry


Preventing a Roof Collapse 


The best way to avoid a roof collapse is to have your Lake of the Ozarks roof inspected twice a year. It is also a good idea to have it inspected additional times if a severe storm comes through your area. While there may not be anything extreme like a tree falling through the roof, just the wind and water alone can do a lot of damage to your roof if not addressed immediately. Some basic roof maintenace to keep in mind includes: 
  • Fixing Damage Before Leaking Occurs 
  • Cleaning off Roof Debris 
  • Removing Mold, Moss, Mildew, Algae, Etc. from Roof
  • Keeping Roof Drains, Gutters and Downspouts Clear of Debris
