When Bonner Springs gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf bur oak, green ash, silver maple, cottonwood, and hackberry, drop heavy leaves, seeds, and spring cottonwood fluff directly onto rooflines. Conifers like eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine also shed needles that clog narrow downspouts. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, making fall maintenance vital. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, which means blocked channels easily form damaging ice dams along frozen eaves. Spring brings heavy downpours along with blowing wind grit and dust. To safeguard your roof and foundation, we recommend scheduled gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, for every home in Bonner Springs.
