When Alexander City gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar. Spring pollen and sweetgum drops fill gutters early in the year, followed by heavy pine needles. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November, dumping heavy oak and maple foliage into your home drainage system. Freezing nights happen in Alexander City during winter, but ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. Trapped water can still freeze in downspouts and strain your roof line. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep drainage clear during every Alabama weather shift.
