When Mapleton gutters fill up
Mapleton experiences true winter conditions with snow, freezing nights, and ice dams forming when blocked channels hold standing water. Trees across the area shed material into gutters, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Seeds, leaves, and needles quickly clog open channels before winter arrives. Trapped moisture then freezes, leading to ice dams that force water under roof shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall. A spring clearing removes winter debris, while late fall gutter cleaning clears fall leaves so snow melt flows freely through every downspout without freezing into solid blocks of ice inside the gutter system.
