When Chalco gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, drop various materials throughout the year. Spring brings light cottonwood fluff, summer storms wash in wind-blown grit, ash seeds fall later, and leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights, winter ice dams, and heavy snow create severe pressure on filled gutters. Trapped ice pushes against the roof edge and pulls heavy channels away from the fascia. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep winter ice from forming over heavy leaf build-up in your channels.
