When Alliance gutters fill up
Trees across Ohio release steady debris throughout the year. Broadleaf sugar maples, red maples, bur oaks, hickories, and American elms shed broad leaves and seed wings, while white pines and spruces drop sharp needles. Mid October usually brings the heaviest leaf drop, filling channels right before freezing weather arrives. Freezing nights cause standing water to expand into ice dams in gutters, which breaks seams and forces water under shingles. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A spring appointment clears out seed pods and maple wings, while fall maintenance removes packed leaves before snow and ice take over your residential property roofline.
