When Ledgeview gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy materials throughout the seasons. Fallen leaves, maple seed wings, acorns, and pine needles easily gather along rooflines. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October. In Ledgeview, freezing nights happen frequently during winter, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when trapped debris stops drainage. Snow is likely, adding heavy weight to blocked channels. We recommend routine gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent winter freezing hazards and clear away spring pollen and seeds before severe weather hits Wisconsin homes.
