When Arden Hills gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as silver maple, broadleaf bur oak, green ash, hackberry, and cottonwood, drop heavy seasonal debris into roof drainage systems. Spring brings cottonwood fluff and ash seeds, while leaf drop usually peaks in early October. Conifers like eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine shed needles and cones year-round. Freezing nights, heavy winter snow, and ice dams in gutters create serious winter problems if channels stay blocked late in the year. Trapped water freezes, expands, and pulls metal channels loose. We recommend a gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home.
