When Brownsville gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, such as broadleaf white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop heavy debris into roof channels. Spring pollen and falling seeds coat metal surfaces early in the year, while leaf drop usually peaks in late October. Pines shed needles constantly, creating dense mats in downspouts. Freezing nights happen during winter, but ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare in Brownsville. To keep water flowing freely, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, clearing away seasonal oak leaves and pine needles.
