When Delhi gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris throughout the year. In Delhi, leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling open channels with maple leaves, acorns, and seed wings. Freezing nights happen regularly in winter, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when trapped water freezes solid. Spring rain and shed pine needles create dense clogs if left unchecked. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your roofline clear. Timely gutter cleaning prevents seasonal blockages before freezing weather arrives in Ohio.
