With a winter storm and heavy snow expected this weekend, homeowners across Western Kentucky should be thinking about more than just travel conditions. Snow and ice can put serious stress on your home’s gutter system, often leading to damage that isn’t noticed until it causes bigger (and more expensive) problems.
At Gutter Boyz of Kentucky, we want to help you understand the risks and know what to watch for before and after the storm.
How Heavy Snow Can Damage Gutters
When snow piles up on your roof and gutters, the added weight can cause:
- Gutters to pull away from the fascia
- Sagging or bending of gutter sections
- Loose or broken hangers and brackets
- Ice dams that trap water and force it under the roofline
- Improper drainage once snow begins to melt
These issues can lead to roof damage, foundation problems, and water intrusion if not addressed quickly.
Warning Signs to Watch For After the Storm
Once the snow clears, keep an eye out for:
- Gutters that appear crooked or detached
- Water spilling over the sides instead of flowing through downspouts
- Visible cracks, splits, or separated seams
- Ice buildup that doesn’t melt properly
Catching these issues early can prevent further damage as temperatures fluctuate.
