When Carney gutters fill up
Local trees common in the region, including sweetgum, red maple, loblolly pine, and longleaf pine, drop material throughout every season. Sweetgum balls, pine needles, and heavy yellow pollen drop into your system, while broadleaf foliage fills the channels when leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and snow, which turns trapped wet leaves into heavy slush along the roofline. Ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, but heavy freezing debris can still strain metal hangers. To protect your property from overflow and structural stress, we recommend a professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels completely open year-round.
