When Buchanan gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, release heavy material throughout the year. Spring drops seed wings and buds, while fall leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling gutters with dense leaves, acorns, and needle buildup. In winter, trapped water turns to ice, causing ice dams in gutters that damage roof structures during freezing nights. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to handle seasonal shedding in Wisconsin. Clearing fall leaves before snow arrives ensures proper water drainage during winter thaws and spring rains.
