When Wildwood gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, drop heavy material over Wildwood. Cottonwood fluff airborne in spring combines with ash seeds and grit, while leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen regularly, and winter snow produces ice dams in gutters when trapped water freezes near the roof line. Blocked channels burst under ice expansion or send meltwater directly back under shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels completely empty before extreme cold or heavy rains set in.
