Learn how installing seamless gutters can protect your Central Florida home

If you’re a Florida homeowner, you’ve undoubtedly experienced the Sunshine State’s high humidity and frequent summer rainfalls year after year.

 

For most people, it’s simply something you learn to get used to. But what many Florida homeowners might not realize is that the wet climate can also pose a huge financial risk for your home when completely ignored. 

 

Continue reading as we discuss Florida’s main climate threats and how to protect your home from water damage.

 

1. Humidity

The air in Florida is often very humid because it’s saturated with water. Not only can water damage your home by causing excess moisture to build up in your drywall and wooden fixtures, but it can also cause odors and mold to develop. 

 

One way to reduce the effects of humidity in your home is to install seamless gutters. These gutters add up to 6” of protective roof overhang. This extra overhang can protect your home from water damage by helping to limit the amount of moisture that can seep through your doors and windows.

 

2. Rainfall

Florida is among the top 5 states in the country to receive the most rainfall each year. This means it’s even more critical for your home to have gutters! 

 

Why? Gutters direct water away from your home, protecting your foundation wall and overall structure from water damage. Gutters also keep places like your garage and attic dry. 

 

3. Insects and Bugs

Beautiful, warm weather year-round can bring unwanted insects and bugs to your home. Without gutters, standing water can accumulate around your house after it rains. Combine this with Florida’s warm weather and you create an ideal environment for insects and bugs to thrive. 

 

Seamless gutters can solve this problem and protect your home from water damage by reducing the amount of standing water around your house and instead directing it out and away.
