When Marshall gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. In spring, maple seed wings fill open gutters. Summer storms wash fine debris down the roof, while fall brings heavy leaves that peak around early October. Acorns and pine needles also clog outlets. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and the risk of ice dams forming inside packed gutters. To protect your roofline, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A scheduled cleaning clears out seasonal buildup before winter frost turns trapped water into heavy ice that breaks downspouts and fascia.
