When Circleville gutters fill up
Local foliage brings seasonal maintenance challenges across Ohio throughout the changing calendar year. Broadleaf varieties like sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, and American elm are common in the region, dropping heavy leaves, acorns, and seed wings. Conifers like white pine and spruce shed fine needles that mat together inside channels. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, blocking downspout entryways just before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights cause standing water to expand, and ice dams in gutters represent a real winter problem for homeowners. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels clear before severe snow and ice arrive.
