When Robinson gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop steady debris into roof channels. Broadleaf leaves fall fast, with leaf drop usually peaking in early October. Conifer needles also pile up inside downspout openings. During winter, freezing nights bring heavy snow and dangerous ice dams that trap water against the roof edge. Blocked channels make winter ice issues far worse for any Robinson home. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out organic debris, maintain downspout flow, and protect your roof before frozen winter weather sets in across Michigan.
