When Bellevue gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy debris into roof channels throughout the year. Spring brings maple seed wings and oak tassels, while fall brings massive leaf drop and heavy pine needles. In Bellevue, winter brings freezing nights where ice dams in gutters become a real winter problem as trapped snow melts and refreezes. Frozen water expands, bending aluminum channels and rotting fascia boards. To protect your home, we recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, clearing away packed buildup before winter weather sets in.
