How Extreme Heat Can Impact Your Roof
Did you know that severe heat and humidity can stress your roof almost as much as a storm? Prolonged high temperatures can cause:
- Shingle blistering or cracking
- Warping of roofing materials
- Premature aging and loss of protective granules
- Expansion and contraction that weakens seams and flashing
With heat this intense, it’s wise to consider what preventative steps you can take to minimize damage. Curious what it might cost to repair or protect your roof before small issues become big problems?
Preventative Measures for Minimizing Heat Damage
- Schedule a free professional roof inspection after a heatwave – hidden issues can be caught early.
- Check your attic ventilation – Proper airflow helps keep roof temperatures in check and can prevent warping.
- Look for signs of damage such as curling shingles or soft spots. If you spot something off, don’t wait to get it checked!
- Avoid DIY repairs during peak heat – Conditions on the roof can be much hotter than ground level and can lead to heat-related illness.
