How Extreme Heat Affects Your Roof—and What to Do
Did you know prolonged heat can cause shingles to warp, crack, or even prematurely age? High temperatures and humidity can also stress attic ventilation, leading to increased energy bills and potential moisture buildup. Wondering how your roof will hold up under this heat wave?
Preventative Measures For Minimizing Heat Damage
- Schedule a professional roof inspection: Extreme weather can reveal hidden vulnerabilities. Our inspections are always free—catch small issues before they turn into major repairs.
- Check attic ventilation and insulation: Proper airflow helps your roof and interior stay cooler, reducing the risk of heat-related damage.
- Look for signs of damage: Notice any curling shingles, soft spots, or water stains on your ceiling? These may be early signs that your roof is suffering from the heat.
- Keep gutters clear: Summer storms often follow heat waves—clean gutters protect against water damage when rain returns.
Should You Worry About Insurance?
Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly after a heat wave or storm? While homeowner’s insurance may cover some weather-related damage, every policy is different. We recommend a professional inspection and documentation to support any future claim. Our team can help navigate the insurance process and ensure all damage is properly assessed.
