What This Severe Weather Alert Means for Concord, NC
While the National Weather Service (NWS) alert is officially in effect for southern Forsyth and north central Davidson Counties, it’s a timely reminder for Concord residents to be on guard for summer thunderstorms. These storms can pop up quickly, and with wind gusts up to 40 mph, even areas outside the immediate warning zone—like Concord—need to take precautions. Not sure how this could affect you? Let’s break it down:
- Residential Concerns: Wind gusts can knock down branches and cause flying debris, which might damage roofing, siding, or gutters.
- Transportation: Sudden storms can make driving dangerous, especially if debris or water covers the roads.
- Infrastructure: Power outages and minor disruptions are common with strong thunderstorms, so make sure you’re prepared.
How to Minimize Roof Damage Before and After a Storm
Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly if it’s damaged during a storm? The best way to avoid costly fixes is to take a few preventative measures now—and know what to look for after a storm passes.
Preventative Steps:
- Secure or store patio furniture, grills, and other loose outdoor items that could become airborne in high winds.
- Trim back any overhanging branches to prevent them from crashing onto your roof.
- Ensure gutters are clear to handle heavy rainfall and check that downspouts are directing water away from your foundation.
- Inspect shingles for signs of wear or lifting, as these can be weak points during a storm.
After the Storm: What to Check
- Look for missing or damaged shingles, especially after wind gusts.
- Check your attic for leaks or water stains.
- Inspect gutters for blockages or sections pulled loose by the wind.
Don’t forget: Professional roof inspections are always free through our expert team. We’ll help document any damage for your insurance claim, answer your questions, and get you back to normal fast.
