When Brookhaven gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, such as red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop a steady stream of debris. Oak catkins fill the channels during spring, while heavy fallen leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls drop rapidly when leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen regularly in winter and snow is likely, turning wet organic buildup into dense, frozen masses that weigh down the roofline. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Regular routine maintenance prevents water flow blockages before winter cold sets in.
