Porch Collapse
There are certain things that most people do not think of as reasonable fears. You have probably at one time been in the situation in which you were a bit concerned about the safety of a deck, balcony or porch and just pushed the thought out of your mind because it seemed silly. Well, that thought is not at all silly and not listening to your instincts can lead to tragedy in the event of a porch collapse.

Where Porch Collapses Can Happen
Most porch, balcony and deck collapses happen as a result of poor workmanship, poor design, over occupancy or failure to inspect older structures. But, contrary to what you might think, it can happen anywhere. This is not just a problem associated with DIY backyard porches. Places in which a collapse can occur include:
- Apartment buildings-especially those built in the 1950s and 1960s
- Office buildings
- Family homes
- Shared public spaces such as parks
A possible porch or balcony collapse is never something to take lightly.
