When Frankfort gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy materials into roof channels throughout the year. Spring drops seed wings, while fallen leaves, acorns, and pine needles build up fast when leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Frankfort. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams that weigh down overflowing systems. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out debris before winter freezes hit Indiana. Timely cleaning allows melting snow to run freely down every downspout, protecting the roof edge from standing water and heavy winter ice formation.
