When Chesapeake Beach gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris across residential properties every season. Loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine cast sharp needles into your gutter line all year long, while sweetgum trees drop hard sweetgum balls and yellow pollen coats roofs in spring. Broadleaf live oak, water oak, red maple, and southern magnolia shed leaves, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Freezing nights happen here, though ice dams are not an issue and snow is rare. Wet pine needles and acorns pack downspouts tightly, trapping rain along the roofline. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your gutter investment.
