When Marion gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris directly onto roofs. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by summer storms, fall acorns, heavy fall leaves, and evergreen needles. Freezing nights happen regularly in Marion, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when melting snow cannot drain. Trapped slush freezes solid, expanding against metal joints and forcing water beneath shingles. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear seasonal debris and protect your roofline before freezing conditions arrive each winter.
