When Bridgeton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a variety of heavy matter. Spring brings oak catkins that cling to metal channels, while fall brings acorns, spiky sweetgum balls, and dense foliage. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof gutters right before winter. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, which add weight to loaded drainage systems, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. To protect your roofline and home structure, we recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, keeping downspouts clear through every major weather shift.
