When Clyde gutters fill up
Trees common in this region include sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. In Clyde, fallen broadleaf foliage, heavy acorns, maple seed wings, and sharp pine needles constantly accumulate on roofs. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof channels right before cold weather arrives. Winter brings freezing nights, heavy snow, and troublesome ice dams that form when clogged gutters hold trapped meltwater at the roof line. To prevent winter damage and spring overflow, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Regular seasonal visits clear out pine needles and organic waste before freeze cycles begin.
