Why Richmond Hill Gutters Need Regular Cleaning
- Oak Ridges Moraine tree canopy — the densest tree cover in York Region. Maples, oaks, and birch dump leaves from September through November
- Spring seed pod season — maple keys and catkins clog downspouts faster than leaves
- Freeze-thaw cycles — Richmond Hill's elevation means more freeze-thaw events than Toronto. Ice expansion in blocked gutters pulls them from fascia
- Clay-heavy soil — overflowing gutters dump water against foundations. In Richmond Hill's clay soil, this causes basement moisture, cracking, and settling
- Newer homes shed shingle grit — homes under 10 years old (common in Jefferson, Observatory) shed granules into gutters
Best Time to Clean Gutters
| Season | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | April – May | Clear winter debris and seed pods before spring rains |
| Late Fall | November | After leaves drop, before first freeze. Most critical |
| Mid-Summer | July | For heavy tree areas (Oak Ridges, South Richvale) |
