When Boone gutters fill up
Several tree species are common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine. In spring, cottonwood fluff and ash seeds float into roof gutters, while grit and dust settle after heavy spring winds. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels with heavy foliage before winter arrives. Freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters create real problems during cold months, pushing water under roof shingles if channels stay blocked. We recommend a complete gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to prevent costly winter ice backing up along your roofline.
