When Loveland gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop heavy loads into roof channels throughout the year. Broadleaf varieties like sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, and American elm shed broad leaves, seed wings, and acorns, while white pine and spruce drop tough needles. In Loveland, leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing winter nights bring severe ice dams, where winter snow thaws and refreezes inside an outdoor gutter full of trapped wet debris. Expandable ice stretches joints and damages downspouts. To protect your roof, we recommend a gutter cleaning service at least twice a year, spring and fall, clearing away maple seeds and fall foliage.
