When Oconomowoc gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris into roof drainage lines. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by acorns, needles, and heavy leaf shedding that usually peaks in early October. Freezing nights, heavy snow, and winter ice dams create major blockages when liquid freezes inside clogged channels. We recommend a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall. Clearing your residential drainage channels before winter prevents expanding ice from twisting aluminum troughs and bending structural roof supports in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
