When North Oaks gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region include broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine. Cottonwood fluff airborne in spring quickly coats open gutter systems, followed by blowing dust, windborne grit, and ash seeds. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, sending dense mats of wet foliage into your gutters. During Minnesota winters, freezing nights create serious ice dams inside filled gutter runs. Trapped water freezes, expands, and pulls whole gutter setups away from rooflines. We recommend scheduling a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to protect your property continuously.
