When Port Sheldon gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. Maple seed wings fall in spring, while acorns, leaves, and pine needles drop in fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October across Port Sheldon. During winter, freezing nights happen, turning trapped water into solid ice that strains metal hangers and causes dangerous ice dams along the roof. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A timely spring visit removes seeds and pollen, while a thorough fall clearout prevents severe winter blockages before snow and ice arrive.
