What the Heat Advisory Means for Concord Residents
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Cabarrus County and the Concord area, with heat index values expected to reach up to 110°F. This extreme heat can present hazards not just to your health, but also your home—especially your roof and attic structures. If you’re planning to attend local events like the Queen Charlotte Fair (ongoing through July 5 at Route 29 Pavilion) or the Tour de France Reserve-Level Wine Tasting (June 24, 7:00 pm, Cellar Door Wine Shop), it’s important to be extra cautious both outdoors and at home.
Why High Heat Puts Your Roof at Risk
Wondering how a heatwave can impact your roof? Prolonged high temperatures and humidity can cause:
- Shingles to crack, curl, or become brittle—especially dark or older shingles
- Warping or softening of roof decking and underlayment
- Accelerated aging of sealants and flashing
- Attic heat buildup, which can drive up energy bills and put extra stress on ventilation systems
Have you noticed any unusual odors, higher than normal energy bills, or buckling shingles? These could be early warning signs your roof is feeling the heat.
Preventative Roofing Measures for Extreme Heat
- Inspect for visible damage: Safely check for blistered, cracked, or warped shingles—especially after intense sunlight or sudden downpours.
- Ensure proper attic ventilation: Good airflow keeps attic temps from soaring, reducing the risk of heat-related damage.
- Seal and insulate: Adequate insulation and well-maintained seals help prevent heat penetration and moisture issues.
- Schedule a professional inspection: Unsure what to look for? Book a free roof inspection with us. It’s quick, thorough, and can save you money in the long run.

Staying Safe at Home & Local Events During the Heat Advisory
- Limit outdoor activities to early morning or evening.
- Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and drink plenty of fluids.
- Check on neighbors, especially elderly residents or those without air conditioning.
- Never leave children or pets in parked vehicles—car interiors can reach lethal temperatures within minutes.
Remember, events like the Queen Charlotte Fair and downtown wine tastings are best enjoyed safely. Take breaks in the shade and stay hydrated.
