Date of Forecast: July 25, 2025
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for our area—Concord and Cabarrus County. The alert was issued at 7:51 PM EDT on July 25, 2025, and will remain in effect from 11 AM Saturday, July 26, through 8 PM Sunday, July 27. Heat index values could climb as high as 108°F. With these dangerous conditions, it’s important to understand how extreme heat can affect your home, especially your roof, and how you can protect your family and property.
What Does a Heat Advisory Mean for Concord Residents?
When temperatures soar into the triple digits, the risk of heat-related illnesses rises, and the impact goes beyond personal health. Prolonged heat and humidity can affect local infrastructure, transportation, and—believe it or not—even your roof’s lifespan and performance.
- Residences: High temps can cause roof shingles to crack, warp, or deteriorate, especially if your attic isn’t well-ventilated. This can lead to leaks and reduced energy efficiency.
- Transportation: Pavement may become dangerously hot, increasing the risk for burns and even causing damage to roads and driveways.
- Infrastructure: Utility systems may be strained as everyone cranks up the AC, and localized power outages can occur.
Why Timely Roof Inspections Matter During Extreme Heat
Curious about how your roof is holding up to this summer’s heat? Extreme temperatures can reveal weaknesses you might not notice during milder weather. Here’s why you should consider a professional inspection:
- Heat can cause shingles to blister and lose their protective granules.
- Expansion and contraction from temperature swings may create gaps or cracks, increasing the risk of leaks during summer storms.
- If you notice curling shingles, discolored patches, or increased indoor temperatures, these could be signs your roof is struggling.
We offer free professional inspections to give you peace of mind—especially when your home is under stress from the elements.
