Heat Advisory: Home, Roof, and Infrastructure Concerns
Prolonged extreme heat can be tough on homes and infrastructure—not just people and pets. Excessive temperatures may:
- Cause shingles or roofing materials to expand, warp, or crack
- Deteriorate sealants around vents, skylights, or flashing
- Lead to improper attic ventilation, raising indoor temperatures and potential mold risks
Are you noticing signs of roof distress, like curling shingles or leaks after a storm? Don’t ignore it—these problems can worsen rapidly in extended heat. Leak Detection & Repair
Supplementary Topic: How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Severe Weather
Extreme heat often follows or precedes severe storms. After a period of high temperatures (especially after recent storms), walk around your home and:
- Look for missing, warped, or blistered shingles
- Check gutters for excessive granules (a sign of shingle wear)
- Inspect the attic for water stains or musty odors
- Scan for sagging rooflines or interior ceiling spots
