When Abingdon gutters fill up
Trees common in this region drop heavy debris that ends up on your roof. Sweetgum balls, acorns, yellow spring pollen, and needles from loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine fall throughout the year. Broadleaf live oak, water oak, red maple, and southern magnolia also lose leaves, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Cold Maryland winters bring freezing nights and snow, which add weight to trapped, wet debris. To prevent clogged gutters from freezing into solid blocks, we recommend clearing your system at least twice a year, spring and fall. Scheduled cleanings clear seasonal buildup before ice and heavy precipitation arrive.
