When Erie gutters fill up
Our climate brings freezing nights, heavy snowfall, and dangerous ice dams in gutters during the colder months. When debris traps standing water, winter ice expands, damaging fascia and breaking downspout joints. In Erie, Colorado, leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof gutters right before the first major snows arrive. To protect your roofline, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough spring gutter cleaning removes seed pods and storm grit, while fall service clears out packed dry leaves so melting snow can flow freely through winter.
