When Van Buren gutters fill up
Local weather in Van Buren brings clear seasonal challenges to every roof edge. Trees common in the region, such as sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop heavy debris. Maple seed wings fall in spring, while acorns, pine needles, and broad leaves drop late in the year, usually peaking in early October. When freeze sets in, freezing nights lead to ice dams in gutters filled with damp leaves. Snow accumulation pushes heavy weight against the roof trim. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your home through every season in Michigan.
