When Norway gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region drop debris onto homes throughout the year. Broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, and American elm shed heavy leaves, while conifers like white pine and spruce drop needles. Homeowners clear away maple seed wings, acorns, pine needles, and fallen leaves that collect in roof valleys. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October across Norway, Wisconsin. Freezing nights follow, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when snow falls and trapped moisture freezes solid along the eaves. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels clear before freezing weather arrives.
