What’s Happening in Concord, NC?
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Concord and the surrounding areas starting this afternoon and running through 8 PM Monday, July 21. Heat index values are expected to soar up to 107°F today, with Monday still dangerously hot at up to 105°F. This kind of extreme heat can put a serious strain on residents, transportation, and even your home's infrastructure—including your roof.
Impacts on Daily Life and Local Activities
High heat doesn’t just make it uncomfortable to be outdoors—it can also stress power grids, impact road surfaces, and make outdoor activities hazardous. If you’re planning to attend local events, please be extra cautious. As of this weekend, one notable event is happening:
- Free Outdoor Movie Series at Cabarrus Brewing Company – Enjoy a movie under the stars, but remember to bring water, wear light clothing, and take plenty of breaks in the shade.
If you’re looking for other outdoor activities, Concord is known for its beautiful greenways and parks. However, with temperatures this high, it’s best to limit strenuous activity to early mornings or late evenings when it’s cooler.
How Does Heat Affect Your Roof?
Did you know prolonged extreme heat can actually damage your roof? Shingles can crack, warp, or become brittle under intense sun exposure: long term effects on roofs. High attic temperatures may also cause underlying materials to deteriorate more rapidly. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly if you spot damage? A quick inspection can prevent more serious—and expensive—issues down the road.
Preventative Measures to Protect Your Roof in Extreme Heat
- Inspect your attic ventilation. Proper airflow keeps temperatures down and helps maintain shingle integrity.
- Look for curling, blistering, or missing shingles. These signs may indicate heat damage or aging materials.
- Check for soft spots or leaks after the heat wave. Sometimes damage is not visible until after extreme weather passes.
- Schedule a free professional inspection. Our team can spot issues before they become major headaches—and help with insurance documentation, should repairs be needed.
Stay Safe & Be Proactive!
Extreme heat is nothing to take lightly. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in air conditioning, and check on vulnerable neighbors. When it comes to your home, a proactive approach is best—especially for your roof, which shields you from the elements year-round.
