When Little Suamico gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop broad leaves, acorns, maple seed wings, and needles into regional gutters. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels right before freezing weather arrives. Freezing nights happen frequently, and trapped water quickly expands into ice dams in gutters during winter storms, lifting channel sections and damaging roof margins. To protect your roofline, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Spring service clears leftover winter trash and spruce needles, while fall visits clear heavy maple leaves before severe winter freezes arrive in Wisconsin.
