When Eagan gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, bring heavy seasonal debris. Cottonwood fluff fills upper channels during spring, while ash seeds and airborne wind grit build up through summer. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, clogging every open gutter on the home. Freezing nights follow quickly in Minnesota, turning backed-up water into ice dams that bend gutters and crack fascia boards. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in spring and again in fall, to ensure proper flow before winter ice arrives.
