When Concordia gutters fill up
In north-central Kansas, seasonal shifts demand a careful cleaning schedule. During spring, cottonwood fluff fills gutters, while ash seeds and windblown grit accumulate through summer. Regional trees like broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine shed heavily. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof channels before winter arrives. Freezing nights, heavy snow, and ice dams in gutters create serious ice hazards if water cannot drain properly through each downspout. We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your Concordia home from water buildup and freeze damage.
