How Extreme Heat Impacts Your Home—Especially Your Roof
Ever wondered how heat waves like this one can affect your house? Concord homeowners should pay special attention to their roofs and attic spaces during a heat advisory. Extreme temperatures and intense sun can:
- Cause shingles to warp, crack, or blister
- Accelerate aging of roofing materials
- Lead to leaks as materials expand and contract
- Increase cooling costs due to poor attic ventilation
Preventative Measures to Minimize Heat Damage to Your Roof
Curious how you can avoid costly repairs after a severe heat event? Here are some expert-approved steps to keep your roof in top shape during high heat:
- Inspect for Pre-Existing Damage: Look for signs of loose, missing, or damaged shingles before the heat sets in.
- Enhance Attic Ventilation: Ensure vents are clear and working—good ventilation prevents heat buildup and reduces energy bills.
- Trim Nearby Trees: Overhanging branches can scrape shingles or break during storms, worsening heat stress on your roof.
- Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection: Unsure what to look for? Request your free roof inspection—we’ll check for vulnerabilities and help with documentation if you need to file an insurance claim.
Stay Safe—And Keep Your Home Protected
While you’re staying cool indoors or enjoying one of Concord’s summer events, don’t overlook your home’s first line of defense: your roof. High temperatures can cause hidden damage that leads to big problems down the road.
