When Byram gutters fill up
Trees 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 open troughs. Spring brings thick coating pollen, while leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Freezing nights happen in Byram, but ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. However, wet pine needles and acorns trapped during cold snaps can freeze into solid plugs that obstruct your downspout drainage. We recommend scheduling a full routine cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to keep your roof drainage open year round.
