When Cairo gutters fill up
Several trees common in the region drop heavy debris into roof systems throughout the year. Pine needles from loblolly, longleaf, and slash pines land in channels continuously, while sweetgum trees drop hard sweetgum balls. In spring, broadleaf live oaks, water oaks, red maples, and southern magnolias dump heavy yellow pollen and leaves, while oaks drop acorns in fall. Freezing nights are rare, so ice dams do not form, but dense foliage makes clear channels essential. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain water flow through every downspout and protect your home during heavy seasonal downpours in Georgia.
