When Bemidji gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, send organic matter straight onto your roof. Spring releases windblown cottonwood fluff and ash seeds, while fallen leaves peak usually in late September. Wind brings grit and dust that mixes with damp leaves, creating heavy blockages inside the system. Freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters create serious winter problems across Minnesota when water cannot drain properly. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out debris before cold weather locks trapped water in place along the roof line.
