When Hutchinson gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris across local properties throughout the year. Broadleaf varieties like bur oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, and cottonwood drop heavy leaf volume, while eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine shed needles and cones. Cottonwood fluff airborne in spring combines with ash seeds, while leaf drop usually peaks in early October. Dust and dirt also blow into gutter channels. In winter, freezing nights cause ice dams in clogged troughs, backing up water onto the roof line. We recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep your roof edge ready for seasonal snow and heavy rain.
