When Georgetown gutters fill up
Georgetown experiences harsh winters where freezing nights happen regularly, making ice dams in gutters a real threat to the edge of your roof. Snow accumulates on rooflines, and trapped water behind frozen blockages can spill into home interiors. Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy debris. Maple seed wings fall in spring, while leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels with fallen leaves, acorns, and pine needles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall. A scheduled seasonal cleaning prevents winter ice issues and keeps the system clear during heavy Michigan rainstorms.
