The exact number of roof collapses in the U.S. due to rain varies each year and is not consistently tracked. However, estimates suggest that thousands of roof collapses occur annually, often exacerbated by factors such as poor maintenance, age of the structure, and accumulation of snow combined with rain. Severe weather events can significantly increase this number, particularly in areas prone to heavy rainfall. Homeowners are encouraged to maintain their roofs to minimize risks.

How many roofs collapse in a year in the US due to rain?
While specific statistics on the number of roofs that collapse each year in the U.S. solely due to rain are not readily available, it is estimated that thousands of roof failures occur annually due to various weather-related factors, including heavy rain and snow. Roof collapses can result from the accumulation of water and debris, particularly on flat roofs. Local building codes, roof maintenance, and design play significant roles in preventing such incidents. For precise figures, local building departments or insurance claims data may provide more specific insights.
Why dont people shovel the snow off their foofs instead of waiting till it melts?
Two reasons: 1. Heavy snowfall may add enough weigt to the roof that it will collapse. That happened last year where I live. 2. Any serious amount of snow on the roof will keep rain from running off, and put a tremendous weight on the roof, and may collapse it. Both of these risks are minimized by shoveling some or all of the snow from the roof.
