When New Franklin gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop maple seed wings, acorns, needles, and leaves into local gutter systems. In New Franklin, freezing nights happen, snow is likely, and ice dams in gutters are a real winter problem when blocked water freezes along the eaves. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall cleaning removes heavy leaves before early winter freezes arrive in Ohio, while a spring appointment clears out seasonal seed pods and evergreen debris to prepare your gutter channels for heavy spring rains.
