When Alcoa gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, shed pollen in spring and heavy leaves every fall. When leaf drop peaks around late October, fallen leaves, acorns, and pine needles quickly pack deep inside gutters. Freezing nights happen throughout winter, and snow is likely, making trapped wet debris freeze into heavy, stubborn masses. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in spring to clear pollen build-up and once in fall before cold weather hits. Regular cleaning helps protect home siding, prevents water from pooling, and maintains proper flow along the roof.
