When Kenosha gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris year-round. Maple seed wings fall in spring, while broadleaf leaves, acorns, and pine needles accumulate heavily as leaf drop usually peaks in early October. In Kenosha, freezing nights, snow, and ice create severe winter conditions. Trapped water in a clogged gutter freezes into solid ice, causing ice dams that push under roof shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall. Scheduling a gutter cleaning before winter arrives keeps downspouts clear so melting snow drains safely off the roof without forming dangerous ice buildup.
