When Waynesville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, bring varying challenges to residential gutter systems. Spring brings cottonwood fluff and ash seeds, followed by windborne grit, while broadleaf leaves fill gutter channels during the fall drop that usually peaks in late October. Winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters, which lock trapped water above the roofline. To protect your property, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Keeping gutters clean before winter stops ice from backing up under the roof tiles.
