When Bradfordville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, constantly drop material on residential roofs. Long pine needles fall throughout the year, while live oak leaf drop, sweetgum balls, and acorns accumulate during seasonal shifts. Yellow pollen coats roofs in spring, creating a sticky base that traps falling leaves. Freezing nights are rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but persistent rainfall creates severe drainage stress. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect against water damage.
