When Logan gutters fill up
Local trees drop heavy loads of leaves, needles, and seeds that collect in gutters across Logan. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof troughs right before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly throughout winter, and trapped water quickly expands into solid ice. Ice dams in gutters are a real winter problem in Utah, pushing heavy ice loads against your roof edge and causing severe winter leaks. To prevent serious cold-weather damage, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough spring gutter cleaning removes lingering winter dirt, while fall service clears fallen leaves so winter snowmelt flows safely away from your home.
