When Paola gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, shed heavy debris across Paola properties. In spring, cottonwood fluff and ash seeds fill overhead channels, while wind brings dust and grit. Fall leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, sending broad leaves directly onto your roof. Freezing nights happen throughout winter, and ice dams in gutters become a real winter problem when winter snow falls on blocked pathways. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep winter ice from pulling down metal channels.
