When Springfield gutters fill up
Trees common in this region drop heavy debris into roof channels throughout the changing seasons. Broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, and northern red oak scatter leaves, seed wings, and acorns, while eastern white pine and eastern hemlock drop needles. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling channels right before cold weather arrives. Freezing nights create ice dams when standing water freezes inside clogged channels, leading to severe winter problems. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear out spring maple seeds and fall leaves. Timely seasonal care protects every residential property in Springfield, Vermont from winter ice buildup.
