TOWN OF MAMMOTH LAKES INFORMATION REGARDING RECENT
BUILDING DAMAGE RESULTING FROM HEAVY SNOW:

GENERAL INFORMATION:

With the recent record breaking snow we have experienced this winter thus far, some
structures in town have experienced some degree of structural damage. Some
damage has been minor, while other structures have experienced major structural
damage.

Cracks in drywall and doors not closing fully are common symptoms of snow load
induced stress on buildings. While this may at first may appear to be alarming, these
signs are normal, even in average snow years, and your building is very likely to be
structurally sound.

However, should you see broken or fractured structural members, such as roof rafters and beams, or deformed roof or wall surfaces, please report that damage right away to the Mammoth Lakes Building Division at (760) 937-5939 or (760) 965-3635. You may also contact the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District (MLFPD) at (760) 934-2300.

It is highly recommended that roofs have the snow cleared off of them in order to
reduce the stress on the structure. Even if all of the snow and ice cannot be removed,
removing at least the top half to two thirds of the roof snow pack is very beneficial.

For condominiums and other structures that have property management, please
contact the property management company immediately should there be any apparent structural issues.

snow removal contractors as well as other general contractors, engineers, and
