When Great Bend gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine. In spring, cottonwood fluff settles into the channels, followed by ash seeds and dirt blown by strong winds. Fall brings heavy fallen leaves, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Cold winters bring freezing nights, snow, and ice dams that create extra stress on full channels. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out trapped debris before winter freezes occur. Regular care helps protect your Great Bend home from costly freeze-thaw damage year after year.
