When Willard gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including bur oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, and cottonwood, drop heavy material into Willard roof channels. Cottonwood fluff flies during late spring, followed by ash seeds, summer wind dust, and broadleaf fall leaves that peak usually in late October. Winter brings freezing nights, lingering snow, and potential ice dams inside every gutter that holds standing trapped water. Conifers like eastern red cedar also drop stray needles that pack tightly inside downspout openings. To protect every home from sudden overflow, ice expansion, and roofline water damage, we strongly recommend a gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during early spring and late fall.
