Extreme temperatures can wreak havoc on gutters 

With summer just around the corner and temperatures on the rise, it’s important to make sure your gutters are prepared for the heat. 

Here at Moreno & Moreno, we want to ensure that your home is ready for any of the elements. Continue reading to learn about thermal expansion:

High & Low Temperatures

Seamless gutters are known for their durability and overall longevity, but this doesn’t mean that they’re completely resistant to regular bouts of extreme temperatures. If temperatures get too hot or cold, gutters react by contracting or expanding. This movement can cause sudden leaks and long-term damage to the overall foundation of your home.

Buckling Occurs

Intense heat not only affects just the gutter but also the hangers which provide stability for the gutters to stay in place. The expansion of the hanger can result in a buckling or cracking effect. 

Check On Your Gutter Before & After Summer 

If you reside in a state with high temperatures – we’re talking about you Floridians – then your gutters may need to be replaced or repaired from time to time due to the heat-warping. 

When the summer season hits, it’s important to keep your gutters in check before and after, as thermal expansion can prevent your gutter from functioning properly over time.

Proper Installation

Most seamless gutters are installed in a way that leaves room for the gutter to expand and contract. Without the proper amount of space for your gutter to grow during extreme temperatures, your gutter could end up damaging the foundation of your home. 

At Moreno & Moreno, we recommend seamless gutters for your home, especially if you live in a state like Florida with extreme temperatures, as this choice can reduce the amount of maintenance you’ll need in the long run.
