When Belton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine. Cottonwood fluff drifting in late spring combines with ash seeds to clog downspout openings. Wind-borne grit and dust settle in channels through summer, followed by peak leaf drop around mid October. In winter, freezing nights occur, making ice dams in gutters a real problem when trapped water freezes along the roof edge. Snow accumulates quickly, adding severe weight to blocked channels. We recommend a complete gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your gutter system working properly throughout the year.
