When Perry gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, drop heavy debris into open channels. Cottonwood fluff airborne in spring, ash seeds, and windborne grit fill your system early in the year. Fallen leaves peak usually in early October, clogging the channel right before winter arrives. Freezing nights create ice dams when trapped water cannot drain, forcing ice under the edge of the roof. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels clear through every changing season in Perry, Iowa.
