When Oakfield gutters fill up
Trees common in this region include sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. In spring, maples drop seed wings that land in gutters. Fall brings heavy fallen leaves and acorns, with leaf drop usually peaking in early October. Conifers shed pine needles year-round, forming thick mats inside the channel. During winter, freezing nights bring snow and ice dams in gutters, which can trap trapped water against your roof. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall cleaning removes fall leaves before freezing temperatures arrive, while spring gutter maintenance clears away winter debris and seed pods.
