When Kimball gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop leaves and debris into gutters throughout the year. Broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, and American elm shed massive foliage, while conifers like white pine and spruce drop needles. Leaves land in fall, while maple seed wings and acorns drop earlier. Fall leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling trough lines before winter sets in. Freezing nights cause snow and trapped water to form heavy ice dams in clogged gutters, straining fasteners. We recommend regular gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep systems clear before freezing conditions and summer rains hit Kimball, Michigan.
