When Bolingbrook gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, send constant material onto local roofs. Maple seed wings fall in spring, pine needles drop year-round, and broadleaf foliage fills troughs as leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights, heavy snow, and ice dams in gutters are a real winter problem in Bolingbrook. Trapped water freezes into heavy ice blockages that pull gutters away from the roofline. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep drainage paths open before winter freezes arrive and spring rains begin.
