What Does a Heat Advisory Mean for Your Concord Home?
With temperatures soaring and humidity on the rise, Concord residents should be on high alert for heat-related issues—especially when it comes to your home’s roofing and general safety. During these intense heat events, not only is personal health at risk, but your roof and other exterior features can also suffer from the extreme conditions.
Local Outdoor Events to Be Aware Of
- Track Night 2025 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (5555 Concord Pkwy S) will continue as scheduled on June 26. If you’re attending, be sure to stay hydrated, take shade breaks, and watch for signs of heat exhaustion.
- Open Mic Night at Cabarrus Brewing Company (329 McGill Ave NW) is also happening today. While it’s an indoor event, many guests may be traveling and spending time outdoors, so take extra care during your commute.
How Extreme Heat Impacts Your Roof
Did you know that roof surfaces can reach 150°F or higher on a day like this? Prolonged exposure to these high temperatures can cause shingles to crack, warp, or even lose their protective granules. Underlayment materials may become brittle, and sealants can break down, increasing the risk of future leaks—especially after the next big storm.
Have you noticed signs of wear, or are you curious what it will cost to get your roof inspected for heat damage? Acting quickly now could save you from major repairs down the line.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Heat Damage
- Inspect Attic Ventilation: Make sure your attic vents are clear to reduce trapped heat that can bake your shingles from below.
- Check for Curling or Blistered Shingles: These are signs of heat stress and could lead to leaks during summer storms.
- Remove Overhanging Branches: They can trap heat and humidity, further stressing your roof.
- Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection: A free inspection can catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
