Detroit experiences an average of 50 freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Water trapped in gutters expands when it freezes, exerting thousands of pounds of force on seams, hangers, and end caps. This is why sectional gutters fail so quickly here. Each joint becomes a fracture point. Seamless gutter installation eliminates 80 percent of failure points by removing unnecessary seams. Residential gutter contractors who install standard five-inch gutters without accounting for ice load are setting you up for repairs within five years. Detroit's weather demands six-inch gutters on most homes and commercial-grade hangers rated for ice weight.
