Climate Change and Your Gutters: What You Need to Know

How Does Climate Change Affect Your Gutters?

Climate change may affect every part of our planet, including the water cycle. As global temperatures steadily increase, some areas will experience much higher levels of rainfall than usual. Homeowners in these regions need to have gutters that are capable of handling this extra load.

Gutter Helmet of Eastern NY

Today, Gutter Helmet® of Eastern NY explains how climate change may affect your aluminum gutters.

More Rain

Temperature is a big factor when it comes to precipitation. Water evaporating from the sea turns into clouds through condensation and then falls back to earth as rain. With rising temperatures, more evaporation occurs. The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold. Too much water saturation in the clouds can lead to intense downpours that result in flash floods and lowland flooding. As temperatures rise across many parts of the globe, some regions can expect to see much higher levels of precipitation due to this cycle.

Storm Damage

Of course, with heavy rainfall comes the threat of storm damage. The high volume of rain may be too much for your gutters to handle. When the gutters are clogged, the problem becomes worse. Water may spill over the sides of the gutters, damaging your siding and drenching your landscape and your home’s foundation. One way to minimize this risk is by investing in a high-quality gutter filter system like Gutter Helmet. It has a unique nose-forward design and a ribbed surface that allows water rainwater to flow into your gutters freely while blocking leaves, pine needles and other debris. This product can also reduce your gutters’ cleaning requirements, making them easier to maintain.

This is the second time I have hired Gutter Helmet of Eastern NY to install gutters on my home. They have an outstanding product! The work is done extremely well and professionally. I highly recommend them for all your home improvement needs.

The crew installed our gutters and completed the job in less time than anticipated. They were friendly, hardworking and cleaned up after they were done. I would recommend Gutter Helmet of Eastern NY to any home owner who needs new gutters.

We just had gutters installed on our house. It was pouring rain, cold, and we still had piles of snow in the areas that they had to work in. They showed up on time, never complained and had all gutters installed in less than three hours....in pouring rain! They were great, and we are extremely satisfied!
