When Fairmount gutters fill up
The local climate in Fairmount brings cold winter weather with freezing nights, heavy snow, and the real risk of ice dams forming inside full channels. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect along the roofline throughout the year. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, quickly filling the gutters before winter sets in. If trapped moisture freezes inside a blocked system, the heavy weight can pull the metal away from the roof edge. To prevent winter damage and keep spring snowmelt moving, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A full fall clearing keeps winter ice from backing up onto your roof trim.
