When Posen gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into channels year round. Broadleaf trees like sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, and American elm drop leaves and acorns, while maple seed wings fly in late spring. Conifers like white pine and spruce shed needles that create dense clogs. Posen sees cold winters where freezing nights happen, snow accumulates, and ice dams in gutters become a real winter hazard when channels stay full of organic matter. Blocked water freezes, expanding inside drainage runs and downspouts. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep systems clear before freezing conditions arrive.
