If you hear a persistent rattling or banging sound coming from your gutters during windy weather, a loose gutter hanger is often the source. In Oak Park, IL, gutter hangers can become loose from thermal expansion, wind stress, ice damage, and normal wear. When a hanger is loose, the wind catches the gutter and causes it to vibrate against the fascia, creating an annoying noise that can be heard from inside the home.<\/p>\n
A rattling gutter hanger is more than just a nuisance. Over time, the constant vibration can worsen the loose connection, cause cracks in the gutter, damage fascia or siding, and eventually lead to complete detachment. In Oak Park single-family homes and bungalows, this is a common exterior repair that is easy to fix before it becomes a bigger problem.<\/p>\n
