When Canandaigua gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, constantly drop debris onto local roofs. Oak catkins fall during spring, while acorns, spiky sweetgum balls, and maple leaves build up fast. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels before cold months arrive. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters across Canandaigua. Water trapped by blocked gutters freezes, expanding against the roofline and causing structural stress. We recommend scheduling a comprehensive gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep channels clear and prevent winter ice buildup.
