When Reynolds gutters fill up
Trees common across this region, including broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris into gutters throughout the year. Spring brings maple seed wings, while fall brings heavy leaf drop, usually peaking in early October, along with acorns and pine needles. Freezing nights happen in Reynolds, creating severe ice dams in gutters when water cannot drain. Snow is likely in winter, and trapped water freezes solid, expanding inside every downspout and gutter section. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to flush out the pine needles and leaves before ice forms.
