When Grandview Heights gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris over local homes. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by acorns, needles, and heavy foliage. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof gutters quickly before winter arrive. Freezing nights happen regularly in Grandview Heights, bringing winter snow that leads to ice dams in clogged gutters. Heavy ice traps thawing water against the shingles, causing leaks along the roof edge. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep every gutter open through freezing weather and heavy spring rains.
