When Bay City gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris into roof channels. Maple seed wings fall in late spring, while acorns, pine needles, and heavy leaves gather in early fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October across Bay City, clogging channels right before winter. Freezing nights happen, creating ice dams in gutters when trapped water freezes near the roof. To protect your roof, we recommend schedule routine gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall.
