When Bloomingdale gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop heavy organic matter into drainage systems. Acorns, fallen leaves, spring pollen, and pine needles build up quickly in Bloomingdale, Tennessee. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, while winter brings freezing nights and likely snow, making uncleared water expand and crack components. Ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but heavy snow sitting on top of trapped mud causes sagging sections. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels open before winter freezing sets in and after spring tree bloom completes.
