When Aurora gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, release various materials throughout the year. Spring pushes light cottonwood fluff into local gutter channels, while ash seeds fall early in summer. Heavy leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling troughs before winter arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly in Missouri, and snow is likely, which turns trapped damp leaves into heavy sludge. We recommend clearing your gutter lines at least twice a year, during spring and fall. Regular seasonal cleanings prevent frozen damp blockages from pulling metal channels away from the roofline.
