How Extreme Heat Can Affect Your Roof
- Shingle Warping and Cracking: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause asphalt shingles to curl, warp, or even crack.
- Roof Ventilation Issues: Poorly ventilated attics can reach dangerously high temperatures, leading to moisture buildup and mold.
- Accelerated Wear: UV rays and heat can shorten the lifespan of roof materials, resulting in premature repairs or replacement.
Preventative Measures to Protect Your Roof During a Heat Wave
- Inspect your attic for proper ventilation to ensure hot air can escape.
- Look for signs of shingle damage or warping from ground level—avoid climbing on the roof in the heat.
- Check for water stains or moisture in your attic, which can signal poor air flow or heat-related damage.
