When Hays gutters fill up
Spring winds across Kansas throw cottonwood fluff, hackberry waste, and ash seeds across rooftops, while broadleaf bur oak, green ash, and silver maple trees common in the region shed leaves that fill channels by mid October. Ponderosa pine needles and dirt accumulate right alongside these fall leaves. When winter hits, freezing nights and snow create heavy ice dams in packed channels, pushing standing water straight back under shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, to protect your property from ice dams, trapped snow, and fall foliage blockages.
