When Auburn gutters fill up
Trees common in this region drop material into gutter channels all year. Broadleaf trees like white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and red maple drop heavy foliage, while loblolly pine and eastern red cedar drop sharp needles. Spring brings heavy pollen, while leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Freezing nights happen in winter, though ice dams are not an issue and snow is rare. Wet debris can still freeze inside a downspout, expanding and pulling brackets loose. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A scheduled cleaning visit removes pine needles and oak leaves before severe weather hits Auburn.
