What This Heat Advisory Means for Concord Homeowners
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for our area, warning of dangerous heat index values through the weekend. With temperatures and humidity pushing the heat index as high as 110°F, it’s crucial to stay alert for heat-related health risks and the impact on your home—especially your roof.
Local Outdoor Events Affected by the Heat
- Queen City Rodeo at Route 29 Pavilion – July 26, 2025
Planning to attend? Take extra precautions: seek shade often, stay hydrated, and never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles—even for a moment.
Remember, Concord summers bring plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors, such as walking at Frank Liske Park or biking along the Carolina Thread Trail. However, during a severe heat advisory, it's safest to limit outdoor activity during the hottest hours and check local event pages for weather updates or cancellations.
How Extreme Heat Impacts Your Roof
High heat and humidity don’t just affect people—they can also wreak havoc on your home’s roof. Excessive temperatures can cause roofing materials, especially asphalt shingles, to expand and contract, potentially leading to:
- Curling or cracking shingles
- Warped or buckling roof decks
- Accelerated wear on seals and flashing
- Increased risk of leaks as materials degrade
Are you noticing any of these issues—or just want peace of mind? Scheduling a professional roof inspection is a smart move, especially after a stretch of extreme weather like this.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Heat Damage
- Inspect your attic ventilation—good airflow helps control attic and roof temperatures.
- Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent water backup from sudden summer storms.
- Look for signs of shingle damage from the ground—missing, curling, or discolored areas can signal trouble.
- Consider light-colored or reflective roofing designs if planning a replacement in the future.
