When Janesville gutters fill up
Trees common in this region include sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling local roof gutters with dense fallen leaves, acorns, and seed wings. During spring, pine needles and seed pods build up fast. Freezing nights arrive early in Wisconsin, turning trapped standing water into solid ice dams that bend aluminum systems and push under shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A pre-winter cleaning keeps cold meltwater flowing through downspouts, protecting your roof structure before winter sets in.
