What Does This Heat Advisory Mean for Concord?
Extreme heat and high humidity can seriously impact daily life across Concord. With real-feel temperatures soaring as high as 110°F, it’s important to be vigilant—especially if you plan to be outdoors, manage a household, or look after vulnerable family members. Heat like this can stress not only people and pets but also homes, vehicles, and local infrastructure.
- Health Risks: Heat illnesses are a real threat—especially for young children, the elderly, and those working outside. Don’t leave kids or pets in vehicles, even for a short period.
- Transportation: Asphalt and roads can soften and deteriorate, while vehicles are more prone to overheating and blowouts.
- Homes & Infrastructure: Prolonged heat can cause roofing materials to expand, warp, or lose integrity, making your roof more vulnerable to leaks or storm damage in coming weeks.
Stay Cool—And Review Your Weekend Plans

Roofing Expert Tips: Preventative Measures for Extreme Heat
Did you know Concord’s summer heat can accelerate roof damage? High temperatures cause roofing materials—especially asphalt shingles—to expand and contract, which may lead to:
- Curling or cracking shingles
- Warped or buckled roof decking
- Accelerated wear on seals and flashing
What can you do?
- Visually inspect your roof (from the ground!) for curled, cracked, or missing shingles after a hot day.
- Keep gutters clear to prevent water backup during surprise summer storms.
- Check attic ventilation, as poor airflow can trap heat and worsen roof deterioration.
- Schedule a professional inspection—it’s always free with us, and we’ll spot issues before they become costly repairs.
