Yes, a roof can collapse from water damage. While it may not be a common occurrence, it's a serious risk that should not be ignored. Water damage can weaken the structural integrity of your roof, making it more susceptible to collapse.
Here's how water damage can lead to roof collapse:

- Rotting: Water can cause the wood framing and sheathing of your roof to rot, weakening its structural integrity.
- Mold growth: Mold growth can further deteriorate the wood and other materials in your roof.
- Weight: Water can add significant weight to your roof, putting extra stress on the structural components.
- Ice dams: Ice dams can form along the eaves of your roof, blocking the flow of melting water and causing it to back up under the shingles. This can lead to water damage and potential roof collapse.
