When Ste. Genevieve gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop distinct debris across Ste. Genevieve as seasons shift. Spring brings airborne cottonwood fluff that quickly mats down in water channels, while green ash seeds and windblown dust accumulate over early summer. In fall, broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine needle drop fill the roof drainage system, usually peaking in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights, heavy snow, and destructive ice dams in gutters when channels remain blocked. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, to ensure continuous water flow before extreme weather hits your residential roofline.
