How Strong Winds Can Damage Your Gutter System

Strong winds don’t just disturb trees and debris; they can have a direct and indirect impact on your gutter system. Here’s how:

Loosening of Gutters

Gutters are secured to your home using brackets and screws from the inside of the gutter system. Nails are also used to fasten gutters from the outside of the gutter and inserted through a metal sleeve and tacked through the inside of the back of the gutter and into the fascia. Prolonged exposure to strong winds can cause these fasteners to loosen over time. Once the gutters lose their secure attachment, they may sag, shift, or even detach completely.
