When La Grange Park gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy debris. In La Grange Park, leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels with thick leaves, acorns, seed wings, and pine needles. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams that form when clogged channels trap water along the roofline. To protect your property, we recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough fall cleanout clears fall leaves before freezing weather hits, while a spring appointment removes winter grit and keeps downspout lines open for early heavy summer storms.
