Thermal Shock Roof Damage in Tennessee
Tennessee's dramatic temperature swings can wreak havoc on your roof through a phenomenon called thermal shock. From scorching summer days reaching 90°F+ to sudden storms dropping temperatures 30 degrees in hours, Crossville and surrounding areas experience some of the most challenging conditions for roofing materials.
What is Thermal Shock Roof Damage?
Thermal shock occurs when roofing materials rapidly expand and contract due to sudden temperature changes. In Tennessee, this happens frequently during:
Spring and fall transition periods
Summer thunderstorms
Winter freeze-thaw cycles
Signs of Thermal Shock Damage

Cracking along edges or centers
Granule loss in patches
Curling or buckling
