When Pleasant Prairie gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, scatter debris into your gutter channels year-round. Maple seed wings fall in late spring, while acorns, heavy pine needles, and leaves drop in late summer and fall. In Pleasant Prairie, leaf drop usually peaks in early October. When cold weather arrives in Wisconsin, freezing nights and snow create ice dams in gutters clogged with soggy leaves. To prevent freeze blockages and water back-ups, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A scheduled seasonal cleaning routine keeps water moving freely.
