When Clinton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, scatter debris into gutters throughout the year. Spring brings light cottonwood fluff and ash seeds, while leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Cold Missouri winters bring freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters that trap meltwater near the roofline. Grit and windblown dust accumulate constantly in quiet channels. We recommend clearing your gutter lines at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out heavy wet leaves and spring seeds before winter freezing locks moisture in place against vulnerable eaves.
