Hot temperatures and high humidity can lead to heat-related illnesses, so residents need to be on alert—and that includes thinking ahead about your home and roof.
How Does Extreme Heat Affect Your Roof?
Most homeowners focus on personal safety during a heat wave, but have you ever wondered how high temperatures could impact your roof?

Preventative Roof Care During Severe Heat
- Inspect for existing damage: Check your attic and ceilings for water stains or signs of leaks, which can worsen in extreme heat.
- Look for warped or curling shingles: High temperatures can cause asphalt shingles to deteriorate more quickly.
- Clear gutters and downspouts: Prevent clogs that might trap heat and moisture against your roof deck.
- Check for ventilation issues: Proper attic ventilation helps your roof shed heat, prolonging its lifespan.

Bethel Methodist Church? Both are wonderful ways to enjoy our community, but remember: the heat advisory means extra precautions are necessary.
- Stay hydrated and take advantage of shaded areas.
- Check on elderly family, friends, and neighbors who may be vulnerable to heat stress.
- Never leave children or pets in parked vehicles—even briefly. Car interiors can spike to lethal temperatures within minutes.
