With Thanksgiving around the corner and National Stuffing Day falling on November 21, Powerhouse Home Improvements—recently named #1 in Pittsburgh—is using the food-themed holiday to remind homeowners about something far less appetizing: stuffed gutters.
“Stuffing belongs on your plate… not packed inside your gutters,” says John Polosky, owner of Powerhouse Home Improvements. “This is the time of year when soaked leaves freeze overnight. Once that happens, water backs up under your shingles and into your home. Homeowners don’t realize how fast a simple clog can turn into thousands of dollars of damage.”
Pittsburgh has already seen its first freeze, and with the season’s first snowfall still ahead, this in-between weather window is when most hidden damage begins.
Powerhouse is seeing a surge in:
- Overflowing gutters clogged with leaves and debris
- Freeze–thaw expansion, forcing moisture under shingles
- Early ice dam development even before the first snow
- Wind-blown leaves re-clogging gutters homeowners cleared earlier
- Roof leaks starting from trapped moisture that refreezes overnight
“People think they have time because the big snow hasn’t hit yet,” Polosky explains. “But November is the danger zone. Once the snow comes, we’re dealing with emergencies instead of prevention. This month is your chance to get ahead of it.”
To help homeowners stay protected during the holidays, Powerhouse is offering:
- Free ‘Unstuff Your Gutters’ Safety Checks
- Pre-snowfall Winter Readiness Reports
- Priority Scheduling for active leaks or interior staining
- Before-and-after photo documentation for insurance needs
“We’ll take care of the gutter stuffing so you can focus on the kind you enjoy at Thanksgiving,” Polosky adds with a laugh. “Your roof—and your wallet—will thank you.”
