When Paris gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock. Spring brings maple seed wings into your gutter system, while early October usually sees peak leaf drop, covering channels in a heavy carpet of fallen leaves, acorns, and needle drop. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and severe ice dams in gutters when channels remain blocked. Ice accumulation forces backup under shingles and along eaves. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep water flowing freely away from your property before freezing weather arrives in Maine.
