When Topeka gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, cottonwood, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, shed constantly into Topeka gutters. Spring brings light cottonwood fluff and green ash seeds, while wind drives dirt and grit into the channels. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, dropping heavy foliage right before winter. Freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters are a real winter problem, turning trapped water into heavy ice that twists metal and forces leaks under the roof. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property before winter freezes arrive and after spring growth stops.
