When Hanover Park gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris throughout the year. Spring bringing maple seed wings into your system, while acorns, broad leaves, and pine needles build up during late summer. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October across Hanover Park. Freezing nights follow quickly, creating ice dams in gutters when trapped water freezes tight. Snow accumulates on roofs, adding extra weight to clogged channels. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep drainage clear before cold temperatures hit Illinois.
