When Bowling Green 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 pollen in spring and heavy foliage in fall. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling every gutter channel with dense debris. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow to Bowling Green, which can weigh down clogged troughs filled with trapped water. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in the spring to remove pollen and early shed, and once in the fall after leaves drop. Regular semi-annual gutter cleaning prevents severe blockages and keeps water flowing freely into each downspout year-round.
