When Dyer gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy materials onto roofs. Fallen leaves, maple seed wings, acorns, and pine needles quickly fill open channels. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, clogging channels right before winter. Freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters create serious winter problems across Dyer when trapped water freezes, expands, and pulls systems away from roofs. Spring drops fresh seed wings that block downspouts during early storms. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear drainage channels and protect your home through cold freeze cycles.
