When Kenton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy debris over local properties. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by acorns, needles, and heavy leaf fall that usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen regularly in Ohio, creating winter ice dams when trapped moisture cannot drain through an obstructed downspout. Ice accumulation in a blocked channel adds heavy weight that pulls metal fasteners away from roof edge timbers. We recommend home gutter maintenance at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep drainage paths clear through every seasonal transition.
