When Steamboat Springs gutters fill up
The local climate brings distinct seasons with winter snow and frequent freezing nights. Fall drops heavy debris, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Left inside the channel, damp leaves, needles, and seeds rot, hold moisture, and freeze solid as winter approaches. Ice dams in gutters are a real winter problem across Steamboat Springs, forcing cold meltwater upward toward the roofline. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A thorough spring cleaning clears away residual grit after cold winter snows melt away, while a fall visit prepares downspouts for long freezing temperatures, protecting property integrity year after year throughout Colorado.
