When Augusta gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region drop heavy loads into roof channels throughout the year. Broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, and hackberry produce thick foliage, while conifers like eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine drop needles. Spring fills system paths with light cottonwood fluff and ash seeds, alongside windborne dirt and grit. Fall brings massive leaf drops, which usually peak in late October across Kansas. Freezing nights follow, and winter snow often melts quickly, causing heavy water run-off. Standing debris combined with winter snow melt causes severe structural weight issues. We recommend home gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels open.
