When Colona gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, and American elm, alongside conifers like white pine and spruce. In Colona, fallen leaves, maple seed wings, acorns, and pine needles accumulate in gutter troughs throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling water channels right before cold weather sets in. Freezing nights, snow, and winter ice dams create major issues when trapped water expands inside clogged channels. We recommend a complete gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall. Regular clearing ensures proper drainage before winter freezes water solid along the roofline.
