When Canfield gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop heavy debris into roof channels throughout the changing seasons. Broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, and American elm drop leaves and dense acorns, while maple seed wings fill channels each spring. Conifers like white pine and spruce drop slender pine needles that mat down inside downspouts. In Canfield, leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, right before freezing nights happen and ice dams in gutters create real winter problems. Trapped ice expands inside blocked downspouts, splitting metal seams and pulling hangers from the roofline. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property.
