Why Extreme Heat Is a Concern for Homes and Roofs
Hot and humid conditions can affect more than just your health—they can also impact your home’s roof. Intense sunlight and high temperatures can:
- Cause shingles to warp, crack, or lose granules, which accelerates wear and tear
- Lead to expansion of roofing materials, creating gaps and allowing water to seep in during future storms
- Increase attic temperatures, putting extra strain on your HVAC system and your energy bills
Are you noticing any buckling or curling shingles, or is your home hotter than usual? These could be warning signs that your roof needs attention.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Roofing Damage During a Heatwave
- Check Your Attic Ventilation: Make sure vents are clear and unobstructed to help lower roof temperatures.
- Inspect Your Roof Visually: Look for dark patches, missing shingles, or areas that appear damaged. Early mornings or evenings are safest for this task.
- Keep Gutters Clean: Debris can trap heat and moisture, increasing the chance of roof deterioration during high temperatures.
- Schedule a Free Professional Inspection: Unsure what to look for? Our team can provide a thorough check and help document any damage for insurance purposes.
