When Granville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris constantly. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling regional gutters with heavy foliage and maple seeds, while evergreen needles fall during dry stretches. Freezing nights arrive quickly in Ohio winters, making ice dams in gutters a real threat when trapped moisture freezes near the roof edge. Snow is likely throughout the season, adding massive weight to clogged channels. We recommend a gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep water moving freely before freezing conditions arrive.
