When Alexandria gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, deposit heavy debris onto regional roofs. Spring brings sticky pollen and dropping seed hulls, while fall leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Fallen leaves, acorns, and sharp pine needles accumulate rapidly inside roof channels. In winter, freezing nights bring heavy snow and ice dams that weigh down blocked aluminum sections. We recommend scheduling a full gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall. Timely maintenance keeps water flowing freely before early winter freezes lock trapped debris against your fascia boards.
