When Springfield gutters fill up
Springfield weather brings varied debris that clogs roof drainage throughout the year. Broadleaf trees common in the region, such as bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, and hackberry, drop heavy seeds and spring material like cottonwood fluff. Conifers such as eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine shed needles, while wind blows grit and dust into the channels. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling troughs right before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights happen here, making snow and ice dams in gutters a real winter problem that traps water on the roof edge. We recommend residential cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property.
