NWS Headline: HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 8 PM EDT WEDNESDAY (Issued June 24 at 3:08 AM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC)
Feeling the heat in Concord? The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for our area, with dangerous heat index values between 105 and 108 degrees from noon today through 8 PM on Wednesday, June 25. These conditions can affect not only your health but also your home—especially your roof and attic space.
What Does Extreme Heat Mean for Your Home?
High temperatures and humidity levels aren’t just uncomfortable—they can put serious stress on your house. Roofs, attics, and gutters are on the front line during extreme heat, which can lead to:
- Heat-induced shingle cracking or warping
- Premature aging of roofing materials
- Potential attic ventilation problems
Curious if your roof is up to the challenge of another sweltering Concord summer? Keep reading for practical tips to minimize damage and extend your roof’s life.
Stay Safe During Local Outdoor Events
Got plans to enjoy the Queen Charlotte Fair at Route 29 Pavilion, running now through July 5th just outside of downtown Concord? Enjoy the festivities—but remember to:
- Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothes
- Take frequent breaks in the shade
- Drink plenty of water
- Plan for indoor cooling-off periods, especially midday
Heat advisories mean car interiors can become deadly in minutes—never leave children or pets unattended. If you’re attending any outdoor gathering, be attentive to signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and those around you.
Preventative Roof Care in Extreme Heat
Did you know that Concord’s high summer heat can accelerate roof wear? Here’s how to minimize the risk:
- Inspect for loose or damaged shingles: Sun-baked shingles can curl, crack, or come loose. Early detection prevents bigger issues later.
- Check attic ventilation: Proper ventilation pulls out heat build-up, protecting both shingles and your energy bill.
- Clean gutters and downspouts: Clear debris to prevent clogs—summer storms can quickly follow heatwaves.
- Schedule a professional roof inspection: Our free inspections catch minor issues before they become expensive repairs.
Not sure what to look for? Our expert team can inspect your roof and help document any damage for potential insurance claims.
When to Take Action
- Experiencing attic heat or unusual indoor temperatures?
- Notice curling shingles, missing granules, or new roof leaks?
- Just want peace of mind ahead of more summer storms?
Don’t wait. Schedule your free roof inspection and make sure your home is ready for Concord’s extreme weather. Our team is here to provide guidance, help with insurance documentation, and keep your home safe—all summer long.
Stay cool, stay safe, and remember: a well-maintained roof is your first line of defense against the elements!
