The Risk of Autumn Build-Up
When leaves pile inside gutters, they trap water and debris. This creates:
Overflow that seeps into walls and ceilings
Added weight that bends or rips gutters from the roofline
Perfect conditions for mold and mildew to spread
Dry, compacted debris that can ignite during dry weather
Why It Happens in Fall
Autumn leaf fall is at its peak between late September and November. A single storm can wash hundreds of leaves into your gutter system, creating instant blockages.
The Cost of Waiting
Ignoring fall maintenance means water damage during the winter thaw and spring storms. Repairs can easily surpass thousands of dollars.
Take Action Before It’s Too Late
Protect your investment. Schedule professional gutter cleaning before fall storms hit. Prevent disasters instead of paying for them later.
