When Woodbury gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine, drop various materials throughout the year. Spring brings light cottonwood fluff and ash seeds, while fallen leaves peak usually in early October. Wind also blows grit and dust directly into the system. In Woodbury, Minnesota, freezing nights cause winter ice dams inside packed channels, forcing trapped water under shingles. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels completely empty before freezing weather arrives. Regular seasonal gutter cleaning keeps downspouts open so melting snow drains safely off the roof.
