When Ashland gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop material into your gutter system throughout every season. Conifers like loblolly pine drop needles all year, while sweetgum balls, acorns, and live oak leaves fill channels as fall approaches. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October. In spring, yellow pollen coats the roof and mixes with dirt to create sticky sludge inside the channel. Freezing nights happen here and snow is likely, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue. To keep your drainage clear, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, before winter cold sets in across Virginia.
