When Hastings gutters fill up
Tree species common in this region, such as bur oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, and cottonwood, drop seed pods and leaves directly onto roofs. Conifers like ponderosa pine and eastern red cedar drop needles year-round. Cottonwood fluff flies in spring, followed by ash seeds, windborne dust, and peak leaf drop in mid October. Freezing nights cause snow and ice dams in clogged gutter runs during winter. Frozen slush weighs down the roofline, cracking metal seam joints. We recommend scheduling a gutter cleaning visit at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to protect the residential gutter system against changing seasonal weather patterns in Nebraska.
