How Extreme Heat Can Affect Your Home—and Your Roof
Did you know that heat waves like this can cause hidden damage to your roof and attic? Prolonged high temperatures can lead to:
- Warped or cracked shingles—shortening roof lifespan
- Increased attic temperatures—raising indoor cooling costs
- Premature aging of roofing materials—especially asphalt shingles
- Potential leaks and ventilation issues
Curious if your roof is at risk? High heat can make any pre-existing issues worse—especially after recent storms or heavy rain. If your attic feels unusually hot or you notice curling shingles, it’s time for a professional inspection.
Preventative Measures for Roof Protection During Heat Waves
- Check for missing, cracked, or warped shingles, especially on sun-exposed slopes
- Ensure your attic is properly ventilated to release excess heat
- Clear gutters and downspouts so water can drain freely if a pop-up storm rolls through
- If possible, schedule roofing repairs or replacements during cooler hours
- Consider installing reflective or light-colored roofing materials for better heat resistance
