When Shelley gutters fill up
In Shelley, freezing nights happen frequently through the winter months, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem across the region. When heavy snow melts off a warm roof and hits a choked channel, ice expands and pushes against fascia trim. Leaves, needles, and seeds from nearby trees collect in channels year after year. Fall leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels right before freezing temperatures set in. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out organic debris before winter freezes and after spring storms. Regular clearing helps protect every gutter system from structural sagging and winter ice jams.
