When South Monroe gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. In spring, maples drop seed wings that settle deep inside channels. Come fall, dense oak leaves and pine needles land on roof edges. Freezing nights happen throughout winter in South Monroe, Michigan, and snow is likely. Trapped fall debris holds moisture, leading to ice dams in gutters during hard freezes. To keep water flowing freely and prevent seasonal roof edge damage, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A scheduled fall clearance removes heavy leaf loads right before freezing weather arrives.
