When St. Peters gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, cast debris onto roof surfaces throughout the year. Spring wind drifts lightweight cottonwood fluff into wet channel corners, while green ash seeds drift down later in summer. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling upper channels with thick layers of broadleaf oak and maple foliage. Freezing nights happen and winter snow is likely in Missouri, turning forgotten leafy dams into heavy frozen masses. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your St. Peters property against seasonal overflow and damp rot.
