When Severance gutters fill up
Managing your gutter system in Severance requires paying close attention to local weather patterns and changing foliage. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in gutters throughout the year, and leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Fall foliage creates dense mats that hold trapped moisture against the roof edge. When winter arrives in Colorado, freezing nights happen regularly, and standing water in dirty channels transforms into ice dams in gutters. Ice dams add weight, bend metal channels, and pull fascia loose. To protect your property, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out organic material before severe weather sets in.
