When Wixom gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce, drop debris into gutters throughout the year. Spring drops seed wings, while heavy leaf drop usually peaks in early October. Conifers shed needles that form dense mats inside gutters. In Wixom, freezing nights and snow create winter hazards. Trapped water in clogged channels freezes into heavy ice dams that pull gutters away from the roof. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, to protect your property before winter freezing sets in across Michigan.
