When Natick gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop broad leaves, acorns, needles, and spring seed wings onto roof surfaces. Freezing nights happen regularly in Natick, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when trapped meltwater freezes along eaves under snow cover. Water expands as it freezes, pulling fasteners away from fascia boards. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to manage seasonal leaf drop and prepare your property for freezing winter weather. Clear channels protect roof lines before fall leaves block downspout entrances completely.
