When Huntertown 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 brings maple seed wings, while fall brings heavy leaves and acorns, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Pine needles also collect in local channels. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, which can create ice dams if trapped water freezes in filled gutters. To protect your property, we recommend cleaning your gutter system at least twice a year, spring and fall. A timely fall gutter cleaning prevents trapped moisture from freezing inside the channel during cold Indiana winters.
