When Osnaburg 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 gutters throughout the year. Spring brings maple seed wings and spring buds, while fall delivers heavy leaves and acorns that settle along the roof edge. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October in Osnaburg, Ohio. In winter, freezing nights bring snow and ice, causing trapped ice dams in gutters when wet debris stays frozen in place. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to prevent full winter clogs that lead to severe roof edge damage and pulled fascia.
