Protecting Your Roof in Extreme Heat
Preventative Measures for Severe Weather Roofing Damage
Did you know that roof materials can expand, contract, and even crack under sustained high temperatures? Here are a few preventative steps every Concord homeowner should consider:
- Inspect for Warping: Look for curled or blistered shingles, especially on sun-facing slopes.
- Check Attic Ventilation: Poor ventilation traps heat, increasing roof stress and the risk of premature aging or leaks.
- Gutter Readiness: Make sure gutters are clear. Clogged gutters combined with heat storms can quickly lead to water damage.
- Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection: Let an expert spot issues you might miss. Inspections are always free and can help you avoid costly repairs later.
