When Winchester gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, dropped heavy material onto local rooftops. Spring brings sticky pollen catkins that clog downspout elbows, while fall sends leaves, acorns, and needle clusters into the gutter system. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across Clark County. Winter brings freezing nights, snowfall, and ice dams in gutters, which trap trapped water along the roof line and pull sagging channels away from fascia boards. We recommend residential gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to maintain clear drainage channels before winter freezes arrive.
