When Orland gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. In spring, oak tassels and maple seed wings fall directly onto the roof, while fallen leaves, acorns, and pine needles accumulate heavily during fall. Freezing nights happen regularly in Orland, meaning packed foliage quickly traps melting snow and creates destructive ice dams in gutters during winter. We recommend home gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels empty. Routine spring gutter cleaning removes seed pods, while early fall gutter cleaning prepares your roof channels for winter freezes and heavy snowpack in Illinois.
